i dont believe he is cos i think that...well lets start from the beginning. i think snape liked lily wen he went to hogwarts but he new that she was a half blood and he new that james liked her so he pretended he didnt like her, cos otherwise not many ppl shout at sum1 for sticking up for them. anyways wen james and lily started going out snape was mad and for sum reason he joined "the dark side" then wen they got married he told voldy bout the prophecy so voldy killed baby harry and asked him not to kill lily, cos wot kind of evil villain gives sum1 the chance to move away but wen she didnt and she tried to protect harry, he killed her (obviously only giving her one chance cos he dusnt care bout her) then wen snape finds out that his lily has died he joins the good side and dumbledore nows all this story thats y he believes snape is a good guy, this is the reason dumby trusts snape. and i think the only reason snape killed dumby is cos dumby asked him to, otherwise snape wud hv died and they need snape as a spy (snape wud hv died cos he made a vow remember)i still dont believe dumby is ded (im still in denial) but jk rowlin has sed that he is now ded so mite aswell get ova it, but i miss my dumby he was like harrys grandfather.
in conclusion i think snape is innocent and in a way i feel sry for him but in a way i hate him.
WOW,very interesting indeed👏...For starters,even I've wondered as to why Voldemort never wanted to kill Lily,given his loathing for mudbloods..Voldemort killed James(who was a pure blood),but had no interest in killing Lily.After killing James,he directly went ahead to kill Harry,but Lily sacrificed her life for Harry and gave him the ultimate protection....
At some point,even I've felt that Snape really really liked Lily(From what we know about Lily from Lupin and Slughorn,she was an immensely likeable and endearing lady)..Especially Slughorn says(In Book 6) that there's no one who couldnt have liked her...So it wouldnt come a surprise had Snape liked her..The reason why I feel he rebuffed her when she beseeched James to stop torturing Snape after their OWL exam was because Snape was too embarrassed and angry at James and Sirius,and didnt quite want a "woman" to come to his rescue..He might have considered that some what an infra dig ...But maybe later,he developed a liking for Lily just when se started going out with James,thus incensing Snape even more,and culminating in Snape's hating James like never before..Snape might have always continued liking and loving Lily,and that's perhaps why he didnt want her killed,so he tipped Voldemort about Harry's being his future nemesis...One important point here is that,Dumbledore tells Harry that The eavesdropper was chucked out of Hog's Head half way through the prophecy,BUT Trelawney tells Harry that the eavesdropper heard the entire prophecy...I would chose to believe Trelawney's version..Snape heard the ENTIRE prophecy,but told Voldemort ONLY the first half,for reasons best known to Snape alone..My hunch is that Snape would have known all the way that Harry CANNOT be killed,but could ONLY be "marked as equal"....Snape wanted ONLY James to be killed,HE didnt want Lily dead..That's perhaps why Voldemort NEVER wanted to kill Lily,but eventually had to,because she came in between her son and Voldemort...Another pointer is that,Aunt Petunia recalls meeting an "awful" boy who knew magic,now James wasnt "awful" from any angle,looks wise and character wise...So my wild prediction is that Snape dated Lily(Yeah yeah,this sounds rather ridiculous,but nothing's impossible),but Lily dumped him for James(or perhaps after getting to know Snape's dangerous liking for the Dark Arts)..Maybe Snape could never get over Lily and the fact that he was ditched for James
I agree that Snape killed Dumbledore because Dumbledore asked him to...Snape made that Unbreakable Vow to Narcissa because he HAD to prove it to Bellatrix that he was on the side of the Dark Lord...Now had Snape not killed Dumbledore,he would have died,thus the order would have lost a spy...Nothing was more important than the downfall of Voldemort,not even Dumbledore's life....Thus by killing Dumbledore,Snape has now convinced every Death Eater that his loyalty lies with Voldemort,thus Snape can spy without having being looked upon with scepticism...Dumbledore's will is yet to be read,and I guess Dumbledore would have transferred his powers to Harry,for Dumbledore says that it would require great courage and power to kill Voldemort,even when his soul is maimed ...At the moment,Harry's knowledge of Magic is NOTHING compared to Voldemort's..Harry has been escaping Voldemort all these years due to a combination of nerve,luck, courage and a great deal of help from Hermione(Books one ,two and three) and Ron..But to "KILL" Voldemort,Harry would be required to have a great knowledge of the dark arts and its finer nuances..Harry should be a wizard at par with Voldemort to kill him,which makes me believe Dumbledore would have transferred his powers to Harry,because Dumbledore was THE ONLY wizard who could hold a candle to voldemort,and the ONLY one Voldemort ever feared
About Harry being a Horcrux,sadly,many facts point to the same..The prophecy says "neither can live while the other survives"..Now Voldemort lead a miserable disembodied and non-corporeal form of life for 13 years,which corroborates the prediction "neither can live while the other survives"...but thanks to the Horcruxes,Voldemort didnt die,but was sentenced to a existence which was worse than death..But,by using Harry's blood,Voldemort rose back to life...Barty Crouch Jr who was imprtsonating as Alastor Moody says to Harry "The blood that flows in these veins flows within the Dark Lord"...Harry and Lord Voldemort have become fused and can no longer survive separately, thus they are no longer separate entities and cannot live as themselves.That's why they both could read each other's minds in Book 5.. .There's a connection etablished,and now,to finish Voldemort off completely,even Harry must die...Every logic leads to this conclusion,but I still refuse to buy this theory against the weightiest of proof,because,it then becomes too predictable...Or maybe I'm being in denial,and clinging on to my "Jo wouldnt make it so predictable" theory😆
