[QUOTE="billd91, post: 2424910, member: 3400"] I just finished Half-Blood Prince and then read this thread. I think people may be onto something about Snape still working against Voldemort. But I don't think it's too certain. Snape stops a death eater from hurting Harry further by saying that it's Voldemort's orders. Even a Voldemort loyalist might accept that, given the brutality of the certain punishment. So you kill Harry Potter? You WILL live to regret it (for a while). The best evidence for Snape not being a Voldemort loyalist is his involvement with Draco's task and how much Dumbledore knew about it. Malfoy being unable to go through with the killing doesn't surprise me. From the movie commentaries about the screenplays, we know that Rowling has revealed future elements of the story to the actors and screenwriters. The cut scenes in Chamber of Secrets show Draco being significantly bullied by his old man. From that point, I started to figure that Draco might be a weak link in the Malfoy chain of evil. Bullied and a bully in turn, but perhaps not as evil as he wants to portray himself. I thought the pacing of HBP was very different from others in the series, but found it a welcome change. Even though chaos is in the background, the events of the main characters' lives are comparatively normal. Harry's teen angst and anger is replaced by a generally wiser and less head-strong temperament because he learns the lessons of adolescence in a very hard way. His teenage certainty and outrage is shattered when the cost of his mistake is the death of Sirius. Notice that he doesn't easily make the exact same mistakes, though he remains headstrong and stubborn to some degree. I do not think that Harry is the 7th horcrux. Dumbledore dismisses it and besides, how would he have done it with the spell rebounding on him like that? That would get Nagini off the hook with respect to being horcrux and I don't think that's what's going on. [/QUOTE]
