Dumbledore Is Not !

by David Haber

Well... maybe not. At least, I don't think he is. Snape's betrayal and the of Dumbledore caught me completely by surprise. Dumbledore was , and on top of that, Snape had done it. And all of the clues point to two possibilities, that Dumbledore's not really , or at the very least, that Snape's not really a Eater, and he Dumbledore because Dumbledore ordered him to, as part of a grand plan.

Reader Comments:

There is another bit of evidence to indicate that this was part of Dumbledore's plan. When Harry confronted Snape outside of the castle and called him a coward. Snape had a major reaction.

DON'T YOU........CALL ME A COWARD Like he's furious that Harry or anyone else could consider him a coward after what he had just done,after the sacrafice that Dumbledore made him make.

BUT! Dumbledore trusts him! Don't you think Dumbledore knows (knew) what he was doing?

I dont think that dumbdore is because when he and harry came back from the cave he was holding a locket that was found in the potion which was a fake horcrux, when snape
ed him u know harry chased snape and the rest of the eater and before he left dumbledore there the locket was still with him but when he went back to where DD was the fake horcrux wasn't there anymore. so who could have taken? dumbledore? or who

I think that dumbledore is because without him the ending be more exciting as with him! Also Harry could speak to him, because of the pictures of the headteachers in the headteacherroom! If he has got a problem he could go there!

i think that dumbledore may be but he told snape to him for some reason that we dont know about of course.

Two of my friends had this theory:
Since Snape had a reason to , (wasnt Voldimort gona him?) Dumbledore and Snape SWITCHED POSITIONS. And you know Dumbledore had drunken a potion earlier? Well, it could've been Polyjuice Potion.

Anyway, J.K. Rowling and HAS to tell us the plot behind it all in the 7th book. We'll find about it soon enough.

the story has to go backward not forward.And no matter what you say Dave Haber-you ARE upset and feel that you might be worng by what JK said at the book reading with King and Irving.I HAVE PROOF OF THIS because you changed the site address from dumbledoreisnot.com to beyondhogwarts.com.Accept it,Dave-you area a loser in the HP Sleuths.I mean you had points and all-im not denying that.But what were hey?Red herrings-thats what.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Shruti: Although I've never claimed on this site that I'm sure that Dumbledore is Not , just that it's a possibility, I did not change the name of the site from dumbledoreisnot.com to beyondhogwarts.com to admit defeat in my belief.

I created this new site, Beyond Hogwarts, and combined the old site dumbledoreisnot.com with it, because when Book 7 does come out, the Dumbledore question gets solved, one way or the other. But even after the last book comes out, there still be many things about Harry and his world to discuss and debate, and that's what this site, Beyond Hogwarts, is for.

So, as dumbledoreisnot.com was Half-Blood Prince therapy, Beyond Hogwarts hopefully help us all understand and cope with the end of the Harry Potter books, and take us beyond them.
