Betsy Hp:
Oh, I was unclear, sorry. I meant that Snape provided no support for 
Draco in DH.  I totally understood Snape's caution in HBP (just as I 
understood Draco's pushing Snape away).  But I did expect some sort of 
meeting of the minds in DH.

Unfortunately, I think JKR completely forgot she'd written HBP.
