Come Play With Me
It does pay out to visit your family now and again. We (my sister, my brother, my dad and me) just had the most awesome discussion about what's gonna happen in the 7TH HARRY POTTER NOVEL!
Well, we all wonder, right? What's Snape up to? WTF was up with Dumbledore in Halfblood Prince? What the heck is going on?
Snape:
My dad just presented with the most awesome theory about Snape: he is a horcrux! (if you're now going, duh! we all knew that!, then you should probably skip this entry. I'm usually not very not at all active in the HP fandom, and have taken part in very few discussions about the books, so I've no idea what the current opinion is on what's gonna happen in the 7th novel). Anyways, for me that theory was like a revelation, like "Um. Why exactly did I never think of that? It's so fucking obvious!!".
Because Snape himself isn't darkside. Snape's just a bitter loser, who participated in Voldemort's games until he suddenly had his revelation and joined Dumbledore's forces. He's a way too intriguing character to just waste him on the part of the average evil coward. I don't think Rowling would do that. And what's with Harry's scar hurting every time Snape's acting particularly evil? If he were the average Ex-Death Eater, that shouldn't be happening, right? It all fits! At least at the moment. Maybe I'll find holes in my dad's theory if I think about it a little longer. Right now, though, Snape = horcrux FTW!! ;)
Dumbledore:
Right. Dumbledore. His decline in the 7th novel was like watching the Eiffel Tower going down in a magnitude 3 earthquake. Like, um, WTF? Greatest wizard ever, and all?
But my sister offered an explanation that makes sense of it all: Dumbledore's an animagus - a phoenix animagus! Like a phoenix, he lost his strength very quickly as his life was coming to an end, and like a phoenix, he rose from the ashes! In the burial scene, Harry thinks he saw a white phoenix rising up into the sky, and if that's not an unmistakable clue, I don't know what is. And of course, "faking" his own death was very convenient for Dumbledore: Voldemort thinks his greatest enemy (or maybe his most worthy adversary, since Harry's probably his worst enemy) is dead, and he's bound to get reckless sooner or later. Which is when Dumbledore will reveal that he's, in fact, not dead, and will strike him down (getting all excited here - please forgive the dramatic language ;) ). And in becoming a phoenix animagus, Dumbledore has conquered death in a way Voldemort never even thought of. Which is another win for the good guys. I think this is a very cool theory.
