Kamion writing:
when reading about Snape being to be rewarded with the Elderwand I
realised this could possible hide an answer to a problem I had since
Snape killed Dumbledore in Half Blood Prince.
I was still convinced Snape was one of the good guys, but could not
figure out that kind of change he would have in the Post-Voldemortic
Period. He would never earn recognisition for all the work he had
done, but always be branded as the Murderer of Dumbledore.
Unless Dumbledore had intended the mastership of the Elder Wand as
the way for Snape to become redeemed. It could be very well possible,
that Dumbledore had no hope at all that Harry would survive the
destruction of the last Horcrux - the one in his own head. Voldemort
would be mortal again, but Dumbledore has emphasised several times
that there is NO real return from the death. Once death = death for
altimes.
No one would expect Snape, who despiced Harry, to revenge Harry
Potter, but he would be at the moment of Voldemorts's Glory in the
perfect position to do so, having the strongest wand in his
possesion, standing in his trust at the right hand of the Dark Lord.
Harry would be the martyr, Snape would be the liberator.
Martyrs get glorious funerals, liberators the glorious rewards.
Is this construction too ruthless?
Or too farfetched.
