Charles:
JKR at that thing where she was with Stephen King and another 
author reading a small part of one of their books, stated in ? 
from Salman Rushde and son that you should read the end of HBP 
straight, (no hidden meanings) that what it says happened 
happened, Snape's bad and he killed DD for what ever reason, but 
it wasn't part of the plan by DD... Snape, at that point or 
through the whole story, was or is on the side of El Voldemort.
