iirc draco's task was to get that portal working...(i'm going off reading this the day it came out, and i read the book in one day, so i might have it wrong <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )

but even if it was to kill dumbledore, snape mearly stepped in...so draco techniqely didn't fail...he never tried...snape "did" the deed (or so we are lead to believe) so as far as the vow goes draco and snape are in the clear...i.e draco hasen't attempted yet...so snape doesn't have too...but in the end dumbledore "appears" dead so voldemort is happy anyway....


all i know is there is no way that snape is bad....because after dumbledore's supposed death harry is suddenly free....whats he do....he goes right after snape....snape easily blocks anything harry can do (and we get another reminder of the silent spells)....

if snape was a bad guy then why not just freeze harry (like dumbledore has done iirc twice now to harry) and take him right to voldemort?

there is no way snape wouldn't have done that...if that was what he wanted too...dumbledore dead, and potter at voldemorts feet...victory..so why not?

imo dumbledore had to be killed by snape so voldemort would trust him....is snape the spy or double-agent?

someone has to destroy all the horcruxes so voldemort can be killed....


another thing i wonder about (and i have to go and re-read all the books) is in the Order of the Phoenix when sirius is killed he is kit by the fireball, and blown thru that doorway.....

earlier when harry was stumbling around he came across that and it gave me the impression of "the afterlife" so why a doorway...if the dead are on the other side, then can the living go get them? or can the dead leave...imo something will happen with that...

Draco had been trying to kill Dumbledore the whole book, which in the end Dumbledore said were really feeble attempts and wondered if Draco really was capable. Draco kept talking like he was able to do it but in the end he didn't. The other death-eaters that were there didn't step in because the dark lord told them that it was Draco's task. The one said to Snape "We have a problem the boy can't do it" and then Snape stepped in and kill Dumbledore.

yeah, now that you say that it sounds right...

all i know is after i read the book i got the impression that i posted above about dumbledore and snape...

the unbreakable vow may have been the point that i overlooked...i really gotta read it again...

i'm basing my premise off the end result, that draco may have been full of indecision at the end, and snape stepped in...

my strongest feelings are because snape didn't capture harry...something is up, and i can't wait to read it...

No one but Dumbledore could read what Snape had in his head when he cast that spell so it appeared that he carried out Malfoy's task I think that covered the unbreakable vow.

Yes, I agree that Dumbledore froze Harry so that Snape could cast his spell I just don't think Snape meant it when he did it and he cast some other silent spell instead. According to Rowlings though this is all just wishful thinking though so it's very possible that you're right and I'm wrong. One thing is for sure though the books are a lot of fun to read and discuss. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
