Read through the rest of this thread, my friend. There's almost nobody on here who believes that Snape betrayed Dumbledore. The clues are everywhere.
And a comment
First the comment, I've read the comments on this thread and one thing had struck me, some folks were suggesting that Snape could have killed or kidnapped Harry while they were in the tower. But, if I read that part clearly, wasn't Harry still under the invisibitity cloak?
So Niether Snape nor Draco or any of the other Death Eaters there could've known Harry was there.
Now my thoery, I got this idea from both some of the comments here and reading about how Lily had sacrificed herself for her son and put that aura or protection on him.
Couldn't have DD done the same thing when he was murdered?
I mean placed that same form of protection on Harry to carry him through when Lily's protection ceases on Harry's 17th birthday?
I can't believe that the wisest wizard in the world hatched a plan that starts: "First, you kill me."
She's going to have to pull something huge out of her hat to make me believe that Dumbledore's "sacrifice" was worth giving up his life for. I thought Sirius' death was way too easy and convenient and this one looks that way, too.
Dead is dead, or at least that's what we've been told, so I don't see how he isn't dead. I didn't see any clues as to any outs he would have to still be alive.
