I'm thinking that he did have Dumbledore's blessing. Looking at the death scene, it's very clear that Dumbledore was trying to rescue Draco from having blood on his hands. Once the other death-eaters showed up, he knew his life was ending; but he strove to the very end to protect every one of the students in his school. Snape, on the other hand, was probably near panic, watching whatever plans he was working on fall apart around him. My big question is about the object they retrieved. Who is RAB, how many other horcruxes did he find, how long ago, and did he destroy them? Another angle is that maybe Harry really does have the Horcrux, and has been duped by misinformation. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
