In fact, he could have just killed the professor.

On mugglenet it lists the facts we know about books 6 and 7. One of those is that we learn more about Harry's scar. I'm thinking that maybe his scar will be the last horcrux. That would explain the transference of powers and why he can see Voldemort's thoughts. What do you think?

p.s.- Audra, I saw your Snape shirt in Rena's pictures and I must have one! Please tell me it was bought and not made!

Spoiler:

I do think Harry is the second to last Horcrux, and that Voldemort will possibly damn himself by retrieving the Horcrux and reabsorbing that part of his soul, making him vulnerable to a deadly attack.

Remember that Hermione had taken the Felix potion, so even if Snape had attacked her, she probably would have been lucky enough to escape, and Luna by extension, since she was with Hermione. Snape not killing Flitwick seems to hint that he’s not as murderous as the book would have us think. Also, when has Snape ever ignored an opportunity to rub someone’s nose in it. If he’d really hated Dumbledore, wouldn’t he have said, “You fool, I deceived you this whole time!” Then again, there’s more sub-text defending his innocence at this point than actual text. The text is pretty damning. I’ll simply trust JKR to make it interesting, either way. One thing that’s still has me scratching my head is the argument Hagrid overheard. If Snape was really evil, why would he show any sign of wavering? Why would he tell Dumbledore that he took too much for granted?

Of course, Snape is all about acting, apparently. “I, the Half-Blood Prince, am meant for the stage!” Such a dramatic statement, that “I, the Half-Blood Prince” line. Bordered on the ridiculous. I half expected him to twirl a mustache.

If he’s evil, and Harry is a Horcrux (and Voldemort knows this), one could assume Snape was stationed at Hogwarts to protect the Horcrux, and plot against Dumbledore.

Then again, Voldemort seemed pretty intent on killing Harry in Goblet, after he did the ritual, so Harry may not be a Horcrux, or Voldemort make him one inadvertently.

Oh, the theories are driving me mad.

Also, sadly, a very close friend of mine made that for me. So it’s one of a kind!
