Actually I believe that Dumbledore wanted Snape to kill him.
If you want to read the most convincing arguement that this WAS all part of the plan,

I found this last night while reading a discussion board about the book. It is incredible insight.

I didn't read that one, but similar - that is a good read. That is one of the great questions - is Snape evil? Who is he loyal too?
And I agree - I think Dumbledore wanted Snape to kill him.

I think Snape saves Potter at the end.

I do as well - and Ginny and Draco will be involved as well.
One thought occured to me - try as Harry might to protect Ginny, his 'love', the only way to defeat Voldemort again was like the first time - with the power that he doesn't understand - love. Does that mean that someone will have to sacrifice themselves at the end in order for Harry to survive/defeat Voldemort?

Could be, but I believe the central theme to all the books is the love of friends and thus the bond that Hermoine, Ron, and Harry share will end up being the key.

Very valid as well.....The other on-going theme has been the Snape/Harry relationship - both will be crucial to book 7, IMHO.

I just finished it this morning.
I agree with Chris's take that it was great, more adult, and mixed a lot of action with enough mystery to make it hard to put down.
I think R.A.B. is Regulus Black, Sirius's brother.
I also tend to agree with Chris's link. I don't buy 100% that Snape is purely evil.
