I think Snape took the Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa because Dumbledore told him too. He would have to prove to the Death Eaters that he was their man, to win trust that will lead to the death of Voldemort. He will have to find Harry in the next book and convince him of this, I think.


By the way, does anyone think that Harry's parents may come back in the last book? I don't think they are dead because of him not being able to see Thestrals until watching Cedric die. Perhaps James and Snape will come together to help Harry kill the Dark Lord....who knows, maybe that is how Snape will win Harry's trust. I can't wait until the next book. Regulus Black. I knew I knew the initials from somewhere. I also thought that we were being set up for something being hidden in the Room of Requirement when she went into such detail about hiding the HBP's potions book.

Speaking of plot twists -- did you notice that Lily Potter was outstanding at ... potions? How very interesting. Perhaps Snape's hatred for James is based less on their inherent enmity, than it is on the fact that James got the girl.... And perhaps the fact that Harry has Lily's eyes (how many times have we heard it) merely twists the knife a bit more.

I wondered about that myself, and that is a valid point. But where could they have been all this time?

Good point!

Bellatrix certainly seemed mollified when Snape took the Unbreakable Vow.

Also, more than a few people were hiding things
in the Room of Requirement! Only Rawlings knows
if this Room will come into use again!
