I have a theory will several theories closely related....
It'll be found out that Snape killed Dumbledore under orders on the good side and......
- Will be killed by someone on the bad side for being on the good side
- Someone on the good side won't know he's still good and kill him
- Someone on the good side will know he's clear and will kill him anyways
Yeah I think he's dead. I and do think it'll be a case of finding out he's innocent and clear and bam two pages later someone kills him anyways. That way it makes the Snape supporters happy he wasn't a total rat and ass; and the non-Snape's happy he's dead.
The little fan girl in me is crying already.
