Alla:

Sure, I agree - everybody is free to trust DD judgment about Snape. I 
guess to me it is the question of , I don't know, the most 
straightforward interpretation again, which can be wrong of course?

I mean, it is like saying ( to me of course) that when person drops 
dead - there are 100 interpretations of that event possible.

I just disagree with that. To me the most ** obvious** interpretation 
of that is that person is just that - **dead**.

Now, sure there are could be circumstances casting that event in the 
different light ( DD giving Snape the order to kill him seems to be 
the most common one), but I don't know - isn't what we saw was the 
man who DD trusted **killing** him?

Sure, JKR can pull a rug in book 7, but  DD is dead, no?

I mean, yeah, as I said everybody can trust DD still, I just do not 
see **why**, if that makes sense, unless of course additional info 
becomes available in book 7.

Oh, say for example DD would keep saying that Tom Riddle should be 
trusted and Tommy dear kills DD and DD would not disclose to us the 
reason.

Would you still say that DD judgment is sound or would you say that 
DD got hoodwinked and badly ?
