Hey guys just read the so called spoilers.

I must say that I don't think that is part of DH. JK could have
written it just for the special but I can't imagine that being
part of DH. Here's why.

Not only is it poorly written it also does not follow JK's style.
When the story is not being told from Harry's POV, no names are
said by the narrator until a character says the name. Take HBP
for example. The Narrator calls Snape 'A sliver of a man',"A man
with long black hair" and then she writes: "Narcissa," said the
man. As you can see she calls him 'the man'. However when Narcissa
calls him Severus and Bellatrix calls him Snape she begins to
refer to him as Snape and not the man.

So we can conclude that JK writing style does not have a unknown
narrator naming characters. She has an active character name the
character before she uses the name. A similar thing was done with
Moody in GOF.

NEXT>>>

The description sucks. JK loves atmosphere. That first paragraph
has none, unless you count a little bit about where they were and
as far as we can understand it is a narrow alley. It is not only
very weak but I can't imagine a first page of a book, even if I
wrote it (and I'm not that good at writing) as being so weak.
The first page is meant to capture people not make them say:
who wrote this.

If this is in DH I will be very suprised and dissapointed in the
begining.

ALSO

Can any of you imagine Snape saying: The best. It seems so
monosyllabic for Snape. It seems like there would have been
some build up. And also Snape's nose and hair always precedes
his talking. We never hear Snape say anything unless we know
he had long curtained black hair (I left out the greasy because
in Spinner's End it was left out so he is not always described
as having greasy hair) and how long and hooked his nose is and
how pale and sallow his face appears to be.

So from a person who pays attention to detail I say this is a
fake unless for some reason (that may be very entertaining) the
story is being told from Snape's perspective in third person.
