Interesting theory overall, but there's one flaw.  Dorothy was throwing 
water on the Scarecrow, after the witch set him on fire.  Dorothy didn't 
care about the witch--she was trying to save her friend.  The water splashed 
on the witch by accident, with unexpected results.

Now, I could see something like that happening--Harry does something to try 
to save Ron or Hermione, and it backfires onto Voldy.  That would be a nice, 
neat ending and would spare Harry from becoming a deliberate murderer.

For whatever it's worth, I'm firmly in the camp that Snape is still 
Dumbledore's man and will die saving Harry.

Two weeks from today--we'll know!!
