Yes, after chapter 20 or so I abandoned OOP reread. I firmly believe 
in rereading should be enjoyable, not torturous. Anyways, it just so 
happened that my last post DH reread started when I was home and I am 
now home again and recovering again, lol.

So may I just say how very different Unbreakable Vow now reads? I 
mean, it is still to me a very finely done chapter, but all the 
excitement and intrigue is so very gone. I mean, it is just that I 
know the answer now and I cannot wonder - OMG, is he evil, is he not? 
Is he? Is he?

I am feeling nostalgic about those discussions.

Anyways, I maybe in the very DUH mood today, but why did Snape take 
that lovely vow? ;)

Bear with me, I am only half joking. I mean, I know now that he did 
not take it because he really wanted to kill Dumbledore of course.

But here is what I am asking and again, I know that for many this 
will come as obvious question, nevertheless I realized that I am not 
completely clear.

Remember conversation in Prince memory about the plan and Malfoy? of 
course you do.

So I suppose I am not hundred percent sure if this conversation took 
place when UV already happened or not, accordingly my question is did 
he take the vow when he already knew that Dumbledore wants him to do 
him in and accordingly he took the vow solely to protect Malfoy or 
did he take the vow to find out the plan without being quite sure 
what's going to happen next?

Um, thanks guys, sorry for being slow today and missing something 
very obvious.
