   hey all!!!  i've been trying to keep up with all the threads but it's hard lol...there's so much good stuff to read and go through!!  Because I haven't had time to read anything I don't know if this has been posted before but I wanted to get thughts on it from everyone...
   
   
  I just got done rereading HBP and I read it this time focusing on Snape and his actions.  Before I continue I must admit that I am on the "Snape is good" side of the argument so it may cloud my argument some.  Ok, this is what I noticed...when narcissa and belatrix are at Snapes house and Narcissa is about to ask for Snapes help with draco there is a brief "argument" (for lack of a better word) between the three of them.  
   
  Narcissa says that she has been forbidden to speak by voldie to speak about what she knows and bel says she should hold her tongue.  Snape, in turn, agrees, saying that if she has been forbidden then she must obey.  However, he goes on to say..."I do know of a play however..." (I don't have the book with me or I could quote better).  Both Narcissa and Bel sem suprised that Snape knows of the plan, although Narcissa says she thought he would know because Snape is his closest confident.  And, because they both believe he knows Narcissa tells him of the task voldie has given to draco.  Ok, so here is what I got to thinking.
   
  Snape never actually SAYS what the plan is, he just says he knows of it.  Could it be that he was fishing for information??  Kind of like when you have kids and you say "I've already heard your sisters side but I'm waiting until I hear yours before I decide what I'm going to do" so that you can find out what is going on?  Does that make any sense?  To me it seemed like Snape had no idea that there was a plan for Draco to kill DD, but when Narcissa and Bel show up he figures out that something is going on so he pretends that he knows in the hopes they will tell him what is going on - he's fishing for information so he can act to stop it. 
   
  What do you guys think of this??  Am I reaching or is this plausable??  Thanks for your input.
