But.  But.  But I never said that Snape gave Harry the information 
*hoping* he would march off to his death!  That's not what I was 
saying at all.

I was saying that Snape was both following DD's instructions 
(providing the information DD said Harry needed at the 'right time') 
AND actually, in doing so, sort of giving Harry a gift -- the gift 
of providing more full & complete information than DD had *and* more 
full & complete information than he had to (all the background with 
Lily).

I think it was a very brave thing for Snape to have done.  I didn't 
see it as selfishly motivated as so many of the things he had done 
were.

I guess that's the only place where I quite see that you & I 
differ.  You are saying, I think, that Snape may have done this as 
*another* thing that was *only* out of devotion/dedication to Lily, 
whereas I believe he did it for more than just that reason -- 
including because DD wanted & asked him to do so.

Sorry if I've not addressed things well.  I am not sure I fully 
understand what you were saying.  But, to clarify, I did NOT think 
Snape gave those memories to Harry because he, out of cruelty, 
wanted Harry to go kill himself.  I didn't think I'd implied 
anything of the kind.

Siriusly Snapey Susan, 
out of posts for the day!
