zanooda:

I also think Snape knew Ron was there, but what if Hermione didn't say 
Ron's name, as someone suggested? Ron would have been still at Shell 
Cottage, not knowing where to find Harry and Hermione, with no one 
around to save Harry except Snape.

I think in this case Snape would have rescued Harry himself (it was too 
early for the boy to die <eg>), but I don't see it as a big problem, 
because Snape could have easily disapparated before Harry had realized 
it was him. Harry was almost unconscious when Ron pulled him out of the 
pool and couldn't see who saved him at first - the same thing could 
have happened if it was Snape who got him out.


zanooda, who is not sure if she managed to use the correct tenses here, 
but hopes that others understand what she wants to say ... :-)
