Montavilla47:
I know this is off-topic,  but can someone please explain to me
how Severus's death was a flaw in the plan?  

As I understand it, the plan was for Dumbledore to die
undefeated, so that the wand would lose its power.

Also, a key part of the plan was for Snape to kill
Dumbledore, thus fooling everyone into thinking
 that he had defeated Dumbledore.

Dumbledore was also sure that Voldemort would
be looking for a replacement wand, and that he 
would be attracted to and distracted by a quest
for the legendary Elder Wand--which could be 
fairly easily traced to Dumbledore.

The brilliant part was that, when Voldemort
inevitably found the wand, it would be useless
to him.

His natural conclusion would be that the wand
didn't work for him because it belonged to 
Snape.

The only difference from that plan to what
actually happened is that Draco accidently got
the mastery, and Harry got it from Draco.

But, as far as Voldemort and Snape were 
concerned, that didn't make any difference.

Voldemort was still going to think that Snape
had the mastery of the wand, and he was still
going to want to murder Snape to obtain it.

So, how was Snape getting killed not part of
the original plan?
