Katie:
This obvious departure from the pattern in the other books leads me
to believing that it ISN'T a departure, but a deliberate
misdirection by JKR, one that will be resolved in DH, when we
discover that Snape is in fact DDM, and that Harry, as usual, jumped
to a mistaken conclusion.


Bridgette:
I completely agree. For one, Snape was giving Harry "hints" till the
very end.  The books had never indicated before that a wizard who
was good at Occlumency could use it to determine the spell another wizard would use before they actually said it. So in pointing this out, I think Snape was giving him major clues in how to help defeat Voldemordt.

Also, I just can't bear to think that Dumbledore could be so
completely wrong about Snape.

I feel it was part of DD's plan. Snape made the Unbreakable Vow, and
so he really had no option.  Also, if Voldemort found out that Snape
was a traitor, the Order would no longer have their spy.  I think at
this point, DD realized that Snape was more valuable than himself.
