The five BIG Harry Potter questions
Here are the biggest, burning questions that we’re hoping to have answered in the last Harry Potter book:
Is Dumbledore dead?
Although scholars have argued both sides of the question with Talmudic rigor, the overwhelming consensus is that he’s down for the count. But the afterlife is a mysterious thing in Harry Potter, and Dumbledore may yet have a role to play.
Who else dies?
“There are deaths, more deaths, coming.” These are Rowling’s words, so we know she won’t be merciful, nor will Voldemort. “We are dealing with pure evil here!”
Is Snape really evil?
Well, he’s clearly not very nice, and he’s working both sides of the street. And he killed Dumbledore. But where do his real loyalties lie? Does even he know? It’s questions like this that make Snape Rowling’s richest creation.
Ron and Hermione….?
They flirted and fought through five books, but by the end of Half-Blood Prince, we knew for sure: it’s on. The only question left is, Do they both survive?
Harry vs. Voldemort?
Prophecies, Horcruxes, R.A.B., Wormtail…the tea leaves are really scrambled on this one. Which is as it should be. But we know this: although they’re enemies, Harry and Voldemort are so intimately linked that when one triumphs over the other, he will surely lose something in the process. The victory, when it comes, won’t be a simple one.

okay, well im thinkin that snapes good and that dumbeldore asked him to kill him because he didnt fight back or anything, dumbledore being one the “greatest wizards” would not just stand there and die exspecailly with harry and voldemort, so either dumbledore will have some way of coming back or he has not actually died

i HATE snape and i always have. i think that the reason dumbledore didn’t fight back is beacuse he didn’t think snape would really go through with killing him. i hope dumbledore is not really dead, but i have a strong feeling that he is. i can’t wait to find out what happens in the 7th book. i just watched a interview with daniel radcliffe and he thinks that the only way for voldermort to die, is for harry to die too. as much as i hate to admit it, i agree.

snape killed dumbledore cause he was dieing anyway. he was poisined by the potion. and having snape kill him saved malfoy
