Harry Potter Speculation: SPOILERS

[dvandom]

I think Snape is still on the side of the angels. When Dumbledore was pleading with him, it wasn't "Please don't kill me, Severus" pleading. It was "Kill me so that Draco doesn't become irretrievably lost to evil, I know you people can't leave while I still live." And Severus could have done far worse to Harry in parting without worrying about depriving Voldemort of his rights. "The Master wants him alive" is classic double-agent speak for "I want him alive but blowing my cover now would probably get me killed by BOTH sides."

Oh, and for the record: I guessed right about Dumbledore dying, guessed wrong about the ID of the Half-Blood Prince (I was sure Riddle was the obvious red herring, but thought it might be Dumbledore), and was totally off the mark on Tonks (I had her pegged for a "and years later, Harry and Tonks finally found each other and were married" epilogue, although I suppose that's not impossible). Kinda disappointed Harry did the stupid Peter Parker at the end of the Spider-Man movie thing, although I doubt she'll let him keep her at arm's length for long.

I was doing some rereading, and I know it is Regulus. How, you ask? In Order of the Pheonix, Sirius said that Regulus "got in so far, then panicked at what he was being asked to do and tried to back out." And on 609 (the letter) "I know I will be dead long before you read this but I want you to know that it was i who discovered your secret." Also Sirius remarked that Regulus wasn't important enough for Voldemort to kill personally. The letter strikes me as amusement and irony that someone thought to be so insignificant took something so important. I know i probably sound stupid or overly crazed, but the only things I have to do are read and theorize...
By the way I know you don't know me... i just stumbled upon this
