SPOILER WARNING
HARRY POTTER SPOILER WARNING
IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE SIXTH BOOK I'M TELLING YOU TO STOP READING
I'M WARNING YOU... THIS IS A SPOILER POST
DON'T READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK
Ok, so anyway, I kind of figured out the ending of the book before I got to it, so I'm not in shock like others. I figured out that Dumbledore would die. I figured it out before I even started The Half-Blood Prince. See Dumbledore was the only one that they could kill off who would spur the fight enough to see it finished in one more installment. Harry really only had 4 people left in his life who he cared about. Dumbledore was the only one that was a main character and yet disposable.
I also figured out that Snape was the Half-Blood Prince. I initially figured that it was either Lily or Severus, then I was thrown a bone with the 50 years thing so I thought maybe Slughorn, but when Harry used the dark magic spell, I knew it had to be Snape.
I never did figure out what Malfoy was up to, I didn't even remember the Vanishing Closet, so it never entered into my mind. I knew he wasn't supposed to kill Harry though, and after the wine that was supposed to be delivered to Dumbledore was poisoned, I did figure that he was after Dumbledore, just didn't know what his plan was.
The one thing I never expected though was for Snape to kill Dumbledore. I honestly thought that we were being led to believe Snape was evil when he really wasn't. So Snape killing Dumbledore was not what I was expecting. One thing I'm curious about though, even as Snape was fleeing, it still seemed like he was trying to teach Harry, but after the retelling of the whole story in the Pheonix Lament, I'm sure that Snape really is evil. It makes me mad.
