In the last Book - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - we were shocked and dismayed when Professor Snape committed the ultimate Betrayal and killed Professor Dumbledore. For those of you that did not hear all the grizzly details or have not been able to bare the memory of such dastardly deeds allow me to refresh your Memories.

Excerpt Pages 595 & 596 out of the Hardcover Version.
""We've got a problem, Snape," said the lumpy Amycus, whose eyes and wand were fixed alike upon Dumbledore, "the boy doesn't seem able-"

But somebody else had spoken Snape's name, quite softly.

"Severus..."

The sound frightened Harry beyond anything he had experienced all evening. For the first time, Dumbledore was pleading.

Snape said nothing, but walked forward and pushed Malfoy roughly out of the way. The three Death Eaters fell back without a word. Even the werewolf seemed cowed.

Snape gazed for a moment at Dumbledore, and there was a revulsion and hatred etched in the harsh lines of his face.

"Severus...please..."

Snape raised his wand and pointed it directly at Dumbledore.

"Avada Kedavra!""

End Excerpt Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Later on in the book we are informed of Dumbledore's Funeral, we are told that Hagrid carries something wrapped in the Ropes that Harry knew to be Professor Dumbledore, we are told of the Body going up in flames. We are led to believe that indeed Professor Dumbledore had died and that he was burned. Making Professor Snape the servant of Lord Voldemort that can be trusted once again.

After careful observations and reading of the facts as we know them we have to question if Professor Snape and Professor Dumbledore did not conspire to make it appear as if Professor Dumbledore died. In earlier Books we have often been led to believe that Professor Dumbledore had been moved from the Scene and "disabled" leaving Harry Potter and all of the Hogwarts Students without his Protection, just to find out at a later time that he had been working behind the scene for the good and protection of those in his Care. Often Professor Snape appearing to be part of the removal of his highly esteemed and respected Headmaster, only to turn out to have clever covered his Track making us blindly follow a misleading path to the wrong conclusion.

Earlier in the Book it was told to us that Draco was to kill the Headmaster and if he could not accomplish this deed he and his family would find them-selves at the deadly end of Voldemorts wrath. Draco's Mother begged Professor Snape to help and he agreed.

Consider this hypothesis. Professor Snape, seeing Draco as one of his favorite Students, agrees for those and other personal reasons to watch over the boy. Knowing that he (Draco) will fail in the end. Professor Dumbledore has to be removed, making Lord Voldemort believe that his greatest opposition is now destroyed, which leaves him (Professor Dumbledore) able to once again work his Magic behind the scene. Professor Snape owes Professor Dumbledore for numerous kindnesses and I honestly don't believe that he is as evil as we are led to believe. I am seeing him as the scapegoat of the Story. His displeasing appearance making him a prime suspect every time.
Professor Dumbledore knew what would happen and I am under the impression that he had taken Hagrid, Professor Snape and perhaps one or two more Characters into his confidence. By Professor Snape casting the "deadly" curse, he successfully was able to remove everyone from the scene without anyone else carrying the deed through. What if the plea of Dumbledore's was not a plea for him to spare his life, but indeed a plea to honor their agreement? I suspect that Dumbledore will reappear in the last Book due out on July 21^st 2007 in all major Bookstores and that Professor Snape will be cleared off all charges.
