[QUOTE="Macbeth, post: 2447154, member: 11259"] I'm betting Snape is a Good Guy. The early chapter where he makes the Unbreakable Oath can be read 2 ways: Either he's really working for Voldemort, and this is how he really is, or he's working for the OotP, and this is what he has to do to maintain his cover. I didn't see anything in that chapter that couldn't be explained be 'keeping his cover.' As for Dumbeldore: despite speculation from this thread and other sources (Time Magainze, among others), I think he'll stay at least mostly dead. Perhaps a few talks with his portrait (which will be more of characature then a true personality) or some Obi-Wan style ghosting, but I think he'll stay dead. I do have to say that the death in this book was much better then in Book 5. When Sirius died, I felt bad for Harry, but it wasn't really sad. Sirius was more like the cool older kid, who has to die to prove things are real. Dumbeldoor, on the other hand, made me sad just to see him go. I'm also glad that there may be some possibillity for breaking the pattern of the other books in Book 7. Throughout Book 6 I was thinking it was feeling a bit formulaic: Dursleys, The Burrow, Hogwarts (sorting hat, classes, mysterious happening, quidditch), Harry's theories, conclusion. I'd compare it to a formula TV show, like Law & Order, or perhaps Star Trek: each episode has the same basic plot, with some new scene dressing. Sure Harry had more character development, but it felt like the same story (Hagrid even says "It's like the Chamber of Secrets all over again"). The 7th book could be the one that makes an impact by breaking the patter, like the few Law & Order episodes that break the Investigate and Prosecute plot (by changing the order,or doing something else entirely). Anyways, good book, and I hope JK Rowling really gets cracking on the next one. [/QUOTE]
