AmanitaMuscaria now - Agreed, the idea of Snape doing for Voldemort, 
as you say, with a few choice words to Harry, has its appeal. But I 
can't go with Abergoat's idea - why would Snape g to Voldemort, or 
think Dumbledore was sending him to Voldemort, if he believed the 
prophecy referred to himself? If he knew the 7th month part, then he 
knew it didn't refer to himself, if he didn't know that part, he'd 
think DD was sending him to his death. So I can't see that logic, I 
fear.

AmanitaMuscaria now - Has to be Lily's courageous fight - if it were 
James' fight, Voldy'd be clambering through the rubble to find Lily 
and Harry ... 
There's definitely things we haven't been told, though!
