A week away and so much Old Crowd to read - you've all
been busy!!

Whatever else you believe about the AK - real or not -
I like to think Snape deliberately reomved DD from the
tower to protect him in some way.

Had he remained on top the other DE's might have been
tempted to take the body - presumably to Voldie as
evidence of his death - or mutilate it in some way and
being a firm believer in Loyal!Snape I can't see him
allowing the others to do this. Bad enough he had to
despatch DD in this way without seeing worse happen to
him
