Bart: 
> When Dumbledore say, "Severus, please...", what is the rest of the 
sentence? Is it really that straightforward? Why, when the normally 
self-controlled Snape is running away, is he yelling instructions to 
Harry on what he needs to do to defeat Voldemort?

Alla:

Agreed about the sentence, it can be interpreted several ways ( which 
does not make me think of the events on the Tower itself as more 
complex, only of what happened before)

But this is the good example - I think the idea that Snape shouts 
instructions to Harry is one of the most notstraightforward 
interpretations.

As far as I am concerned, he does what he always does - he gloats. here 
the reason is Harry's unability to perform unforgivables.

That is just my opinion of course.
