via [livejournal.com profile] selenak: So, apparently JKR was doing a Harry Potter reading the other day, and Salman Rushdie, who happened to be there, mentioned his theory on Snape. And she confirmed it. Spoilers, I guess.

I knew it! I knew that Snape's [spoiler], and that Dumbledore's [spoiler]. The fact that it's Salman Rushdie who brought it up adds a nice, surreal quality.

I always thought it was obvious from the way that scene was written - the whole book as a matter of fact - that Snape was acting on Dumbledore's order, and against his will. To keep Draco from being the one to kill DD and thus falling to the dark side, one assumes. It looks like Dumbledore knew things others didn't, which gave him reason to trust Snape.

As if Dumbledore would beg Snape for his life. That's the guy who said, "After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure." (I read Potterquotes yesterday ;)
