Alla:

Sure, if you are holding Snape responsible for taking a life, orders
or no orders, I understand your position to the extent.

Because Dumbledore specifically assured Harry that potion is not
going to kill him, no? He said it is no health drink, but not that
he was going to die from it.

And of course Harry is a minor under DD command, so I do not think
that he had as much choice as Snape, but as I said, those are side
effects, if you saying that Snape **is** responsible as well, I do
not have that much to argue with.

Okay :)

Alla:

Yes, if.

Lealess:
Does Harry have those same feelings about his actions?

Alla:

We do not even know that Potion is killing the person, no? So why
should Harry have the same feelings as of today? And we do know that
Avada kills people.

I would like to think that if we learn that potion did kill DD,
Harry would have those feelings, yes.

I have my doubts about Snape :)

JMO,
