Alla:

And when we read in book 7 that this theory is a fact, Dumbledore 
giving Snape an order to kill him, then I will publicly apologise to 
Snape. :) and just as publicly condemn Dumbledore as the most rotten 
manipulator I have ever read about for the longest time.

So far, it is not a fact.  IMO.



Sherry now:

no matter what supposed orders, a soldier who kills his general, his
commander in chief is a traitor and faces a court martial and likely
execution.  I will not apologize to Snape for following such orders, if
there were such orders, and I will join Alla in considering Dumbledore quite
a vile manipulator, if he gave them.  That is just not a good Snape scenario
I can accept, and I don't think it's a very good one to put forth to the
kids who will be reading this book.  just my opinion though of course.
