not really areaction to the last post, but more a remark after 
reading several reactions:

I get the idea that Spinner's End of HBP and The Prince's Tale from 
DH don't match up quite well:
In DH it's can be read that Snape is the first to reach Dumbledore 
after he is inflicked by the curse of Marvolo's ring, he is pretty 
angry Dumbledore has not summoned him sooner.
When reading that part one would conclude that Spinner's End comes 
after this scene. This because he tells the two sisters that 
Dumbledore is getting old and has sustained a serious injury--- which 
of course is the blackened hand.
But reading further in the Prince's Tale  Dumbledore starts talking 
about Voldie's plan to kill him and using Draco as a tool ( that's 
ought to fail).
How does he know this? Has he heard it from Snape? The text does not 
give that indication. Did the Spinner End scene already happen at 
this point? I am tempted to think not, that it comes after the 
promiss Snape make to finish DD off at the right time and therefor he 
he is making a Vow to Narcissa he de facto already has made to DD.
Is this a screw up in chronology
or was Snape already informed by Voldemort himself before Draco was 
told and he knew what Narcissa was going to tell him?

I am confused.
