Do You Believe......

A) Snape is Evil and Killed Dumbledore
B) Snape is Evil but Dumbledore Survived
C) Snape is NOT Evil but still killed Dumbledore
D) Snape is NOT Evil and Dumbledore survived

I Choose 'C'
 
I think that Snape either never left the Death Eaters, or he returned to them after Voldemort's return (like he said to Narcissa and Bellatrix at the beginning of HBP), or he is, and this is what I really think, simply torn, confused, and afraid. He doesn't know what to do. There is a theory that Dumbledore's death was part of a plan to give Harry the necessary jolt, sort of a good swift kick to set him in motion. I think he's really dead, but it would be interesting to see what his portrait in his old office would have to say about the whole situation.
 
I prefer to suspend my view until the 7th novel is released. Cause I honestly have no idea and since in my view he's only just become interesting and his development as a character is only about 60% complete. Too early to tell.
 
I just hope that Rowling doesn't pull a Tolkien and have Dumbeldore come back. I could see maybe some kind of plausible explanation for it, but I still would be dissapointed.

As for me I also picked the third choice. I Just don't think the reason why Snape saved Harry was because Voldomort wants to kill him.
 
IMO:

Snape is most definitely not evil, and Dumbledore has used the Griffindor sword (in the cabinet in his office) as a Horcrux (sp).

I think that's by far the most likely of scenarios..
 
I really don't think that Dumbledore is coming back. The hero needs to go on without the wise advisor.
 
Yeah Dumbledore is dead theres no get out for him. As he said "Death is just the next great adventure" and now he's dead Harry will have to stop being such a little bitch and get on with tracking down the murderers he claims to hate but never seems to do anything about.
 
Shouldn't there be an 'I have no idea' option because that's what I believe. I seriously do not know Snape's/Dumbledore's motives at all
 
There should be a I don't know option and a he's niether good nor evil option. But I'm lame.

Ha...... :eek:

Lack of "I don't know" isn't that bad, as it forces you to make your best guess.

"neigher good nor evil": You didn't say "he's good and killed Dumbledore". "Not evil" doesn't imply "good". So, there.

I thought the poll was to the point and precice.
 
If there'd been a "Snape is just looking out for himself" option, I would have gone with that. I dont think Dumbledore will miraculousely rise from the grave either as it is not JK Rowlings style. She takes a firm stance on death, "when your dead, your dead". The view of a realist - the deaths are sudden, with no chance to say goodbyes, and no way around it.
 
I think dumbledore will return in some shape or form even if its in a dream or something similar! I have a feeling that in the end snape will do something heroic... I'm not however certain of this!
 
i think that DD is definately dead just as sirius is dead, but harry will get advice from his portrait and/or pensieve
IMO snapes neither evil nor good, he made a split second decision, he could see that DD was dying and had to do what he had to do so his front as a DE was not blown, he still has no love harry and hates his guts, always has always will but i think that in the final battle between V and harry, hell make the right decision and help harry but harry will never forgive him for killing DD i have a feeling that snape will sacrifice himself trying to help harry destroy V

in the poll i chose C: snape in not evil but killed DD
 
Just finished the book last night, could NOT put it down! Read over 300 pages in just over a day, man I was addicted.

Anyway, I haven't visited the main threads yet, or read any of the theories, but I already have my own complete theory that Snape is not evil.
 
yeah it sucks, but

we all want Dumbledore alive, and many want snape good. too bad.

We're talking about a man who got the potter's killed, simply striding onto a tower top and blasting a man who had done nothing but good for him with th Avada Kedavra. Plus there was the fall from the tallest tower at Hogwarts to take into acount here. Oh, and snape nearly killed fang. Anyone who could kill a dog without reason is really F*cked up.

Certainly worth a visit. Did you guys know that, apparently, the US and UK editions differ when it comes to Dumbledore's and Malfoy's conversation at the Astronomy Tower (towards the end of the book)? Here's the quote from the site:

'This is the text as it appears in the UK edition:

"He told me to do it or he'll kill me. I've got no choice."
"Come over to the right side, Draco, and we can hide you more completely than you can possibly imagine. What is more, I can send members of the Order to your mother tonight to hide her likewise. Your father is safe at the moment in Azkaban...when the time comes we can protect him too...come over to the right side, Draco...you are not a killer..."
Malfoy stared at Dumbledore.
(HBP UK Edition pg 552)

But this is the same passage from the American edition (...):

"He told me to do it or he'll kill me. I've got no choice."
"He cannot kill you if you are already dead. Come over to the right side Draco, and we can hide you more completely than you can possibly imagine. What is more, I can send members of the Order to your mother tonight to hide her likewise. Nobody would be surprised that you had died in your attempt to kill me - forgive me, but Lord Voldemort probably expects it. Nor would the Death Eaters be surprised that we had captured and killed your mother -- it is what they would do themselves, after all. Your father is safe at the moment in Azkaban...When the time comes we can protect him too. Come over to the right side, Draco...you are not a killer..."
Malfoy stared at Dumbledore. (HBP US Edition pg 591)'

The text in red is missing from the UK edition.
 
This has been pointed out before. If it was exceptionally important to know this JK would have put it in both sets of novels, it may have been added because American's are very often stereotyped as not being particularly intelligent (no offense meant). Like the changing of the tittle of the original Potter book.

I very much doubt this is the reason, David :) ! Having said that, neither does it seems of any real interest, plotwise. It's just a curious little bit of information....

(You do realise I'm quoting an Internet site, here, don't you? So, yes, I should think it has been pointed out before...)
