HBP theories...

I am new to this group, so sorry if any of these theories have already
come up or been discussed. I just have a few thoughts about the book
and was wondering if anyone could support/disprove them for me. I
CAN'T WAIT for the next book to come out so we can get the real ending.

Theory #1: Dumbledore is not really dead. Maybe Dumbledore and Snape
used polyjuice potion and switched. I was thinking that maybe Snape
felt that he owed Dumbledore one last favor and switched because he
knew Lord Voldemort's plans to kill Dumbledore. Does anyone else think
this might be true?

Theory #2: Maybe Dumbledore was already dying from destroying the ring
Horocrux (the dead hand?) so he went along with Snape's plan to kill
him. If he was already dying (he said himself that there are worse
things than death in OotP) then he could sacrifice himself and still
have Snape be a spy for the Order.

Theory #3: This may be a bit far fetched, but it seems strange to
me...When Dumbledore drank the potion that the fake Horocrux he was
saying strange things and it seemed to me like he was reliving a bad
memory ("I don't want...Don't make me" "I don't want to...I don't want
to...Let me go..." "It's all my fault, all my fault. Please make it
stop, I know I did it wrong, oh please make it stop and I'll never,
never again..." This just seems a bit out of place to me...

Theory #4: Why didn't Snape just kill Harry while they were dueling at
the end. It is no big secret that he hates Harry. I know that he says
that Lord Voldemort wanted Harry alive, but it just doesn't seem right
from everything that we know about Snape so far. I personally think
that Snape is still on the Order's side...Maybe even Draco...The
ending duel between Harry and Snape just seemed a bit fishy to me...

Anyone care to discuss any of my theories? I am probably TOTALLY wrong
on them, lol, but it would be interesting to hear if anyone else is
thinking along the same lines as me. Thanks!!
