Voldemort's Motives

We always presume that Voldemorts motive in HBP would be to "take 
over the world"--wizarding and or muggle...and begin by taking out 
DD.

I do loathe Snape...any adult who antagonizes youngsters to such a 
great degree really has serious issues to say the least, and I 
simply have not been able to bring myself to to commit to Snape 
being anyone's man, including his own he has not developed enough...

So, fed up with wondering about Snape, I began to wonder the one 
thing we never had first hand from Voldemort in HBP--his motive(we 
do not have Harry's visions or Scar reactions in HBP)...so we really 
don't see any of Voldemort's desires other than via the decades old 
memories of DD's from the pensieve.

So given the curse on the DA job, Voldemort's desire for said job, 
Snapes attainment of it and DD's death...I'm beginning to believe 
that Voldemort didn't want the DA job, nor did he want DD dead(he 
could have done this at the job interview)..I believe Voldemort 
wanted unfettered access to Hogwarts. (sorry I just have the feeling 
that not just anyone can get upon the grounds with Hagrid being 
the "keeper of keys"--I think Hagrid knows more than Hagrid thinks 
he knows. or 2. to find some artifact, or 3. tap unknown stores of 
magic. 4. return to what he rightly felt should be his home.  5. to 
get knowledge from DD(either directly or indirectly).   6. to gain 
unfettered access to Harry. 

  Snape killing DD may have really thwarted Voldie's plans if Voldie 
wanted info from DD. I'm beginning to wonder if Voldemort wanted 
information on the "Deathly Hallows" themselves... Given this, DD 
would not have given Harry info on the Hallows directly but shown 
Harry through Voldemort's story. (just in case the mind link was 
still there--if voldie, or even snape peeked in, then it would be 
about horcruxes). Perhaps the reason why Harry has never visited his 
parents graves is because they are kept safe via secret keeper at 
Godrics hollow. I think DD would have created a new "secret keeper 
for this spot" (perhaps Aberforth, I hope--would be just awful for 
Harry to find his parents graves desecrated)...if this spot was not 
protected then I'm sure DE's or Voldy would have vanalized said 
gravesites years ago and this would have been one of the things 
either DD or Hagrid would have told Harry.

Also while examining this aspect of HBP I'm beginning to wonder if 
Voldemort will kill Snape himself--if not both Draco and Snape..
(although I think that if Draco will die it will be at the hands of 
Bella)...

This would explain the lack of explanation during the Spinners End 
chapter between Snape and Narcissa, as well as Bella trying to 
dissuade her sister from confiding in Snape(she would have found out 
voldemort's orders during the lesson. No one knows the specific 
orders Voldemort gave Draco except Draco, Voldie...and perhaps 
Bella..

Doddie,
(who is convinced Snape is a chess piece on both DD and Voldie's 
boards, yet unsure of which piece, and who is also sure that, Snape 
doesn't appear to have the emotional maturity to truly play 
the "double spy" he wants to be.)
