If so then the books don't make much sense. Dumbledore told Snape he
didn't expect Harry to survive and for the life of me I can't see why
he would lie to Snape of all people about that. And Dumbledore thought
the snake, the last Horcrux (except for Harry), would be dead when
Harry marched into the forest to meet Voldemort. If the snake were
dead the results of that meeting would have been apocalyptic for both
of them.
