Harry Potter Spoilers Read spoiler at your own risk
Alright now here is MY theory on the whole "Snape is innocent, no shut up, he's guilty" thing:
I was reading a transcript of an interview that J.K. Rowling gave to some newspaper or magazine, I'm not sure which, but it was about the guy asking her if she liked Harry Potter : Prisoner of Azkaban, the movie.
According to Rowling, she got "goosebumps" after watching it because it revealed a major spoiler for later in the series (i.e., book seven). Today, I was watching Prisoner of Azkaban and I figured out that part.
Remember near the end when Lupin is transforming into a werewolf, and he is about to attack Ron, Harry, and Hermione? Well, at this point the book, Snape was still unconscious from the disarming spell that Harry had used against him in the Shrieking Shack. However, at this point in the movie, when Lupin is about to pounce on the Trio, Snape suddenly runs in front of them and blocks them from Lupin.
Why would Snape do this? Why would he show any compassion for Harry Potter or his friends in the face of terrible danger?
The answer? Because he was under orders from Dumbledore to do so. He could've easily let Lupin devour them and run off for himself, but he didn't.
Arguments: But what if he was just saving Harry so that Voldemort could use him in his revival at the end of Goblet of Fire?
Answer: Because even if Snape was on the Death Eaters' side, he would not have known about the plan. Voldemort started planning his revival at the beginning of Goblet of Fire, and the only person he told was Peter Pettigrew (aka wormtail).
I might be wrong, but I'd like to hear your opinion on my theory!
P.S. This also supports another theory / spoiler that I read on the Trap17 Forum, the theory of Snape being in love with Lily Potter and protecting Harry Potter as owing her a favor.

i have had talks with friends of mine, and before Prisioner Of Azkaban came out
that picture had come out as one of the first, and one of the questions that came up in our conversations was your theory above... i would agree with the fact that he had orders from dumbledore to protect harry at practicly any cost...and this theory can also lead to the thing believeing that dumbledore is not dead because he snape had orders from dumbledore to do it, but some believe that he was not actually killed...there is a post around here somewhere that explaints theory but there is the website http://www.dumbledoreisnotdead.com/ check it out, but then again maybe you have seen it before...but i cannot wait for the 7th book to come out and reveal what really happened in the ending :-D....
That is a good theory / spoiler. I think Snape is good, and I can't wait to see how the Harry Potter series ends. Oh jeez, we're gonna have to wait until next year to read the seventh HP book...its seems like its taking forever.
Peo: J.K. Rowling said she'd only write 7 Harry Potter books, but she might write a fictional biography of Albus Dumbledore when the seventh book is over
Extremely good find. I probably wouldn't read Dumbledore's biography XD Although I read the HP books. Snape doesn't like Harry, and it definately shows. Suprisingly, I have nothing to say against that theory. Maybe Snape is doing more than protecting Harry. =o

I think you could very well be right. I also support the 'Snape loves Lily' argument. It makes perfect sense. I've said before, it's been made out too obvious that Snape is a bad guy, for him to actually be bad. He's like a pantomime villain... But each time they have suspected Snape of being up to no good, they have always been wrong. Snape is usually going out of his way to protect Harry... this may be to do with feeling 'endebted' to Harrys father, thought I doubt it, it may be more to do with him being Lily's son. As for Snape killing dumbledore... Theres the theory that Dumbledore never really died The theory he was already dying and Snape and Dumbledore had reached an agreement to kill him off that way (it would 'proove' snapes loyalty in the eyes of voldemort) The theory that dumbledore had ordered Snape to and he did it despite not wanting to (however, that theory seems to be wrong, as it has been stressed over and over to us you cannot use an unforgivable curse without sincerely and wholly wanting to relish in the consequences it would cause)
Of course, we could all be looking way too much into this. It is still a childrens book And ultimately, in childrens book, the guy whos being made out to be a bit evil, is usually a bit evil Snape could have killed dumbledore, and dumbledore is properly dead
Personally I can't wait to find out!
Don't you think it would be MUCH more interesting if Rowling wrote books on Snapes life... I would quite like that We would get to know where he truely stood on certain matters And how cruel his childhood really was for ihm =(
I think it would be amazing if Rowling wrote a book or two on Snapes life. I would love to find out about his childhood, miserable as it must have been.. To hear things from his point of view... to read Rowling making Harrys dad and Sirius into people we could dislike, simply by seeing things Snapes way. I'd love to read how Snape reaallly felt about making the unbreakable vow, and about his time working as a 'spy' for both voldemort and Dumbledore.. It would make a good read =)
I think snape is innocent for other reasons here! read my theories!!!
I have my own...
1 Is Malfoy really a death eater?
it must be, although he might even be the one that betrays the dark lord because just as he could kill dumbledore he would regret other acts. But not likely though because malfoy's family runs a tradition in the dark arts!
2 Snape could be innocent!!
yes! doesn't look like? well look at it this way! everything sape told dumpledore was never confirmed by anyone and he is a highly accomplish occlumens he could be telling the truth and as for killing dumbledore well he made the unbreakable vow didn't he? and the never really tried to harm harry even if he hated him...
3 harry's future
if he leave's school we move to another world of possibilities as for the fact that nothing garantees that 7th is the last book! again this could be wrong and JKR decides to publish a book 100% of action and mistery and adventure which althoug very hard would be a grand final! even then there is the question of who will be his supporters? the DA? his friends? the order? hogwarts staff? the ministry (most unlikely) ? on his own (don't think so)? could harry speak to dumbleadore's portrait about the mission and could the albus portrait help him (?) find the remaining horcruxes?
4 ron and hermiony and HP+ginny?
they will for sure end up together snoging ron+hermy, but as for harry the story is uncertain! i think ginny will go with harry even if harry doesn't want to (and because dumbledore would like there to be more love in this world if there could be) and might might get kidnapped by a death eater or even by HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED ending up killed or rescued and living happily ever after (i doubt that 2nd chance).
5 Harry potter is gryffindor last descendent!
noticed that the house bellonging to his parents is called Godric's hollow? Godric Gryffindor... any resemblense? and... would it not take a true gryffindor to take the sword out of the hat? there must have been loads of people truly loyal to gryffindor but not one of his own blood!! i think james potter is the blood of gryffindor!!! that whould bring a shout to the gryffindor VS slytherin fidght as tom marvolo ridle is from slytherin....
just answer me i'll be in touch thank you!!!

yeah, maybe snape is doing more than we think, maybe he is getting back at james *harry's dad* through harry, and he i loving harry as if he and lilly were together, but it is all far streched out........
I just simply love the books, I've read every single HP book and seen all the movies that are
out at the moment. Here is a quick plot from wiki if you don't know who I'm talking about,
But of course you would =] QUOTE The story opens with the conspicuous celebration of a normally
secretive wizarding world; for many years, it has been terrorised by the evil wizard, Lord
Voldemort. On the previous night, October 31, Voldemort discovered the Potter family's hidden
refuge, killing Lily and James Potter. However, when he attempted to murder their toddler....
I was wondering, can this be a discussion for the seventh and final book of the Harry Potter
series? Because I really want to talk about it. Great book! Do you think that the ending is a
bit.. predictable? I mean, it was kind of obvious (to me) that Hermione and Ron would
eventually.. Marry each other? As with Harry and Ginny. But I like Harry's kid the best, the one
that looks like him. Albus Severus, right? Or was it Albus Snape? Hmm.. I remember it was Albus
_______.. ....
Well, I figured I mine as well make the post for the book. I know Albus is probably reading it
considering his screen name is named after the former character. Anyway, I've read a few
articles about it and have heard that people are pretty satisfied with the ending. The storyline
has changed so much as Harry has grown older. I've also read though that there is lots of death
occurring throughout the book, but of course I guess that is part of the name. I purchased my copy
last night and have started reading chapter one. Please post what you think of it but ....
As all Harry Potter fans may now: The last book is coming out soon. It is going to be released July
21th. I found some unresolved plot info from the previous books on Wikipedia *****SPOILER*****
: QUOTE * Harry will return to the home of his non-magical (Muggle) relatives, the Dursleys
(whose cooperation has been requested by Albus Dumbledore), during the school holiday. The magical
protection Dumbledore arranged, which requires Harry to have a home with them, is set to expire when
Harry comes of age (see below).HBP Ch.4 * Harry plans to visit the remains ....
Not in the world, but in the series. Here is my synopsis: Oh yeah, it's kinda spoiler
intensive, so if you have not yet read the books, you might not want to continue reading. Hmm,
wonder if this board has spoiler tags? Book 1. Killed a teacher at the the school he attended.
Arguments against: He was preventing the capture of the stone, and He was a dark wizard anyway.
Arguments for: If Harry did not persue the stone in the first place, it would not have needed
prevent the capture! Even if the enemy you are killing is evil, they should be held alive for ....
Don't be so stupid as to say 'omg I well hate harry potter - I watched the movies and they
were boring so I just didn't bother with it ever again! its just for kidz lolz'
That's simply ridiculous The books are almost completely separate things from the movies MOST
people who have read the books dislike the movies anyway I agree completely that the Harry Potter
films are made for a young audience And books 1 and 2 are also made for a young audience But beyond
that the books contain some quite adult themes, and were definately written with a more &....
This teory shows that harry potter has the best chances of being a gryffindor! as on my post
about 5 HP teories (click here) i quote the fifth: QUOTE 5 Harry potter is gryffindor last
descendent! noticed that the house bellonging to his parents is called Godric's hollow ?
Godric Gryffindor ... any resemblense? and... would it not take a true gryffindor to take the sword
out of the hat? there must have been loads of people truly loyal to gryffindor but not one of his
own blood!! i think james potter is the blood of gryffindor!!! t....
What do you reckon the 6 horcruxes will be then... Obviously we know the diary was one And the
locket from the Black house was probably the one dumbledore and Harry went to find The ring that
dumbledore destroyed (we don't know much about that really) Something of ravenclaws, hufflepuffs
and gryffindors? Dumbledore thinks that voldemort used nagini the snake to kill the old man in the
riddle house and then turned her into a horcrux, because voldemort was one horcrux short when he
went to kill Harry. Dumbledore also thinks that voldemort planned to make a horcrux w....
Yesterday, I was re-reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince , and I have deduced that
Snape's allegiences indeed lie with the Order of the Phoenix. Here is why: At the top of the
Astronomy Tower near the end of the book, Dumbledore admits to Malfoy that he knew about the mission
Voldemort entrusted to Malfoy. However, he knew that Malfoy is not a murderer and therefore would
not kill dumbledore, so he asked snape to kill dumbledore instead so that Malfoy would not be killed
by Voldemort. Coincidentally, Snape had made an unbreakable vow to Narcissa Malfoy ....
WARNING: SOME SPOILER DETAILS FROM BOOK SIX! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! Haha, suckers. More
Harry Potter and you can't do nothin' bout it, ye hear?! Indeed. So here is my theory
for Book 7, which I heard from an unconfirmed source but it is still kinda fun: There is another
prophecy concerning Harry that he does not know about, which again was forseen by Professor
Trelawney and told to Dumbledore around the time the first prophecy was made. But surprisingly, it
was about Harry's romantic destiny, not Voldemort. Dumbledore decided not to tell Har....
So, what do people actually think's going to happen in the last book, now the sixth one is out
of the way. Personally I think that Hogwarts will stage the final battle between Voldemort and the
others and they'll be all the magical creatures fighting each other etc. What do other people
think? Or do people just read the books and take in what happens then?....
The new Harry Potter (the sixth one) is already coming out (July, isn't it). I have just had a
chance to catch up with the Harry Potter books. They are all amazing. Once I started, I just
couldn't stop. Not only do I feel like I have to continue to read til the end of the book, but
also once I have finished one I sooo much want to read the next book. Was just wondering now which
one you like best (out of the five)? I think I like the third one most (the prisoner of Azkaban).
It's just a perfect jig-saw...all pieces were put together soo well, and filled wit....
I like Harry Potter... a lot!!! I spend a lot of time looking at stuffs about Harry Potter. I would
like to here some personal comments about Harry Potter. I don't really care if you hate it, but, I'm
just curious.
