Okay- I made it through the maze of spoilers- lol. Great posts, and great ideas.

I think Snape is a bastard, but one with remorse and regret.(2) I also think that he, unlike Voldie, is capable of love, and that is why he is working against his former master. I believe that he was in love with Lily and when he discovered that he had played a role in her death, he was overcome with remorse and and wanted revenge against her murderer. Dumbledore keeps saying that love is the strongest magic of all (1)- even the darkest arts can be defeated by it. If Snape is motivated by such a powerful magic, then he would be able to prevent Voldemort from seeing his true mission. He could have hurt any one of the kids at any time, yet he didn't. Even at the end, he was still 'teaching' Harry, and only lost his temper when called a coward. (3)

I think Snape and Dumbledore set up this scenario, to lure out the Death-Eaters and fool Voldemort into thinking the school, and Harry, were without their leader. They couldn't let anyone else into the secret, as Voldemort would easily be able to the truth then. I'll back this up later, but I have a few other things I want to cover first.

Lupin and Bill will be released from the curse once Fenrir is dead.

So far, unless JK introduces a new character in #7, I believe RAB is Regulus. He disappeared, but no one knows how or where he died, just that he had turned his back on the Dark Lord. I think he may be dead, as the Black house (and Kreacher) probably wouldn't have gone to Harry if Regulus were still living. I also think that Kreacher hid one of the horcrux's- remember in book 5 when he was stashing away all the Black family artifacts? So, all Harry has to do is discover this, and order Kreacher to give it to him.

Peter Pettigrew.....He is still in the wings, and Dumbledore indicated that he may end up being of great help to Harry in the end. And what about the new Minister of Magic? Does his status as a vampire play into the story, or is it yet another flipping herring?

Okay- back to housepainting.
