In other words, while Magpie thinks that Dumbledore put the  lives of 
his staff and his students in jeopardy in order to save Draco, you  [Carol]
think that he was trying to save Snape (with Draco as a side  
project). I am not sure I agree that either of those gambles was 
worth  the price, since it was just dumb luck that no students died 
as a result.  

>On the other hand, if Daco repented and came to Dumbledore, by the  
conditions of the UV Snape *would* have to step in and kill 
Dumbledore  or die. Could it be that it was *this* situation 
Dumbledore was trying to  prevent, rather than the one you described? 
Draco's conversion would have  been as fatal for Dumbledore or Snape 
as the direct confrontation.
 
Nikkalmati:
 
Either way, whether DD was trying to save Snape or Draco or both, it is not  
SS and DM versus the students.  If SS and/or DM are a vital part of the  plan 
to destroy LV, it is the lives of SS and DM (which includes the fate  of the 
entire WW, the students, their families, and the lives of future  generations) 
versus the possibility one or more students might die.  This  is war after 
all.  DD took whatever measures he could to protect the  students after Katie was 
attacked (and BTW they seem to have worked), but  he was not willing to 
chance the destruction of the WW at the hands of  LV. Generals have to make these 
decisions.
