Magpie:
Actually, he can't be. Because Snape hasn't "betrayed" him yet at the point 
where Dumbledore starts pleading. He's just entered the room--which is what 
Dumbledore already wanted earlier.

Though that doesn't mean that Snape was always supposed to kill Dumbledore. 
It could just be what Snape knows he's supposed to do in this extreme 
scenario they hoped would never happen.

Magpie:
On one hand I can't feel badly because it's the way I see it.:-) Otoh, I've 
had that happen to me, where suddenly I saw something like that. It's kind 
of mind-blowing.

for this beat.:-)
