zgirnius:
I have been following the discussion with some interest. Why would 
the potion in the Cave killing Dumbledore not be a Good Snape 
scenario you could live with? Surely it would have nothing to do with 
Snape?

Or is it the involvement of Harry that you would then find 
unaccaptable? He did not know what the potion did, for sure. He 
believed Dumbledore. Dumbledore himself did not know (he says, and I 
believe him, except when I am admiring Pippin's cool idea that Snape 
made the potion.)
