>a_svirn:
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.
