Re: Harry Potter
Hello Mamamia2, and once again, welcome. I did indeed see your post at Talk:Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; however, please note that discussion pages for articles are not meant for personal (or unpublished) theories, but for discussing improvements that can be made to the article. Anyway, I hope to see you around, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Cheers! Fbv65 e del / ☑t / ☛c || 02:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Hello. To answer your question: The generally considered view is that one reasonably likely possibility is that Snape and Dumbledore arranged the circumstances of Dumbledores death. This would be to further the chances of Dumbledore's side winning in the war, but I don't think anyone has seriously suggested that the intention was to create a magical protection for Harry, in the way Lily did (though we also don't know exactly what she did do). The most widespread view would be that Snape is now at liberty to leave Hogwarts and act as a spy on behalf of Harry, maybe help in some final encounter with Voldemort or by sabotage, and will now be trusted by Voldemort. Now, Dumbledore voluntarily dying seems a poor swap for just this, but possible other explanations why he might have been willing to die include either that he was already suffering the curse from the ring horcrux which had been halted but was still going to be fatal, or that he felt it more important to keep Snape alive rather than himself, after Snape became trapped by his vow to carry out Draco's task. But I agree with FBV this isn't really what should be on the DH discussion page. It is really to contentious for inclusion on that page, although it is pretty well established by now.
