But isn't Sirius's brother a death eater? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, maybe he wasn't as bad, maybe he knew what was going on and that Voldemort never really had any real "friends", and that he'd tortured many of his closest people in the past. Perfect revenge is to take out a piece of Voldemort's soul.

When Albus was saying "please" to Snape he wasn't begging for his life he was saying please kill me. This brings me to the second part. 2) If Serverus killed Albus, Draco wouldn't have to, thereby saving what little goodness there was left in the boy. When he promised his mother to protect Draco from harm, it was mental as well as physical. 3) This most definitely puts Snape on Voldemort's "people who will not betray me" list. I have a feeling that in the next book Snape will try to kill V. and fail (prolly getting killed in the process) but somehow enabling Harry to finish the job either by weakening V. or giving Potter support at a vital moment, thus showing that he is indeed not a bad guy. ------------------------------------------------------- I agree with you. There is much more to Dumbledore's trust in Snape than what most are seeing. Snapes reactions to Harry and others who he has gone through hogwarts with have been as emotionally charged as Harry's reactions to Snape. And I feel that in the 7ths book we will discover that for a moment the two will join forces to eliminate Voldemore.

that reminds me. why did he even drink it in the first place? why not just pour it out on the rocks or Vanish it out of the goblet? and how did he manage to drink seven goblets full! that's a lot of drink!

I have noticed that if a new character or incident appears in one book they will have a major role in the next book. So I think we need to look closer at the new things in this book to discover what will happen in the 7th.

So it wouldn't have been possible to fill the goblet and pour it out. Once the goblet was filled it had to be disposed of somehow and drinking was the only thing left to do.

I read in an interview that JK Rowlings gave that this book would reveal the fate of Hagrid's half brother Gawp and Peter Pettigrew.
And we would know why Dumbledore trusts Snape?
Why Snape has such hostility towards Sirius Black?
And something huge will be revealed about Lily Potter?
I've read the book and I'm re-reading it again but I still haven't seen any of the solutions that Rowlings is speaking about above.
Does anyone know the answers?

<I read in an interview that JK Rowlings gave that this book would reveal the fate of Hagrid's half brother Gawp and Peter Pettigrew.>
Gawp is on Hagrid's side...
<And we would know why Dumbledore trusts Snape?>
Because he's too trusting!!
<Why Snape has such hostility towards Sirius Black?>
Because Sirius was so mean to him during their schooling.
<And something huge will be revealed about Lily Potter?
Dunno about that one.

well, I saw that there were MAJOR connections between Snape and Voldemort. Both halfboods, very powerful at occlumency, both want power... The RAB.. Regulus popped into my head first, therefore I'm going to throw it out, cause it seems to easy. Watch it be someone from one of the first couple of books. Lily Potter was a royal suck up and a whiz at potions?? Iono.. As my friend said "Books 1-4 were okay. Book 5 was okay. It was not okay, but it was okay. Book 6 was NOT Okay!"

I think I thought of something... Snape and Dumbledore argued in the 6th book, remember what Hagrid said? Snape was flat out refusing to do something, and Dumbledore told him he had to, but Snape stayed at the school... maybe Snape was telling Dumbledore that he didn't want to have to kill Dumbledore, and Dumbledore told him he had to. Just a thought....

I think it was a pre-plan that the two of them hatched after Dumbledore discovered Draco's plan to attempt to kill him.

I've been re-reading books 4, 5 and 6 looking for clues I might have missed the first couple of times that I read them.
And in book 4, in the chapter titled; "Flesh, Blood and Bone" where Voldemort returns and confronts those death eaters who came when the dark mark called them. On page 648 Voldemort says "They, who knew the steps I took, long ago, to guard myself against mortal death? "
This leads me to believe that there were death eaters who knew about Voldemort making the horcruxs. I would have thought that he would have kept this information to himself. I know I would have if I had been him. So considering this information it's my opinion that it's highly possible that RAB is Sirius's brother.
