Kemper now:

Hi Alla!  We know Snape said AK.  We know Dumbledore is dead.
We do not know that Snape caused Dumbledore's death.
Some of us /suspect/ that Snape killed Dumbledore based on the info on
the page, and some of us /suspect/ that Snape made it appear as though
he killed Dumbledore based on the info on the same page.

I think both our readings are straightforward and our arguments legitimate.
