Oh I am not suggesting Dumbledore knew Bella and Cissie were coming to
Spinners End. It was an event that happened and had to be dealt with.
But a thought on Dumbledore's unexplained injury.
At Spinners End Snape enters into an Unbreakable Vow. The description
of The UV here specifes that the participants clasp right hand to
right hand and at the climax of the oath the clasped hands are
enveloped in a swirl of fire.
Now my speculation. Dumbledore has been spying on Voldemort assuming
Sapes form, using Polyjuice. He is searching for Horcruxes. In this
Polyjuice speculation Cissy and Bella unexpectedly confront
Dumbledore/Snape at Spinners End. Dum/Snape finds it necessary to go
through the unbreakable vow procedure to carry forwards his overall
mission.
Maybe Bella has a Horcrux in her posession -a ring perhaps?
Later we find Dumbledore with a fire-ravaged hand - and it is NOT
specified whether this is his right or his left hand as far as I can
see in any Canonical Text. Text-Experts - can anyone check out the
ravaged hand references in HBP?
What would be the effect of Dumbledore re-assuming his own form with
an oath like the UV impacting on it even though the oath was taken in
Snape-Form? Maybe combatting the immediate influence of the UV caused
his hand to be ravaged by magical Fire?
OK all speculation - but the circumstances of the Ravaged Hand MUST
form part of the core Text in Book 8 or all the hand references in HBP
are padding.
