and let Snape to his fate, if that means death, too bad.

Maybe in another life he would think twice before taking UV to finish 
off his mentor.

I believe that there was quite a chance that Dumbledore could have 
persuaded Draco to take the deal he offers him on the Tower, in fact 
without DE around, I believe he would have more chances.

So I believe in my hypothetical the only one for whom things 
definitely look grim is Snape ( although anything can happen, but 
everybody else had a pretty good chance of beating tough luck, 
everybody but Snape)

JMO of course,

Alla, who has no problem with anybody finding her answers 
unsatisfactory, but who absolutely finds problematic the implication 
that I do not suggest any course of action for Dumbledore when mine 
just ignores the fate of Snape dear.



Julie:
Okay, I got it now. It still comes down to whether one trusts
Dumbledore's judgment or not. You believe he should have left
Snape entirely out of the equation, and perhaps even Draco,
because they made their own beds, so to speak. I believe in
Dumbledore's judgment, and that Snape is DDM and will prove
to be even more necessary to Harry's defeat of Voldemort than
Dumbledore could have been. Equally I believe Draco will 
contribute to the cause, probably by helping unite Slytherin
with the other houses. That makes Dumbledore's gamble worth
it, IMO, even though I also accept his words to Harry that
the safety of his students was his paramount concern (and 
they did remain safe, even through the DE invasion). 
 
So fair enough. I'm rooting for wise Dumbledore, good if 
very flawed Snape, and truly reformed Draco. You're rooting
for bad and heavily punished for it even if he does repent
just slightly in the end Snape, not so wise and quite cold
hearted Dumbledore (which it seems he must be in your
scenario), and slightly-reformed but still out for himself
Draco. I guess we'll find out which ones we get in Book 7 ;-)
