Half Blood Prince Question/theory (spoilers)
Spoiler: Ok, well, the thing I didnt really understand is, why did Dumbledore sacrifice himself to save Draco?
I'm pretty sure the Half Blood Prince is still on the side of good - it just wouldnt fit if it was just a case of Dumbledore was wrong about him, plus even at the end Snape spared Harry, protected him from the other DE's and gave him advice about how to keep Tom Riddle out of his mind. I think when Hagrid overheard Snape and Dumbledore arguing that was when Dumbledore told Snape to kill him if it came to it...and as Dumbledore already knew about Draco's plot to kill him, and in fact two students were almost killed, he must have had a pretty serious reason not to have stopped Draco and expelled him a long time before.
So... if Dumbledore put Ron and Katie at risk, and sacrificed his own life to protect Draco, what was it for?
The only thing I could think of was maybe the Malfoy's have one of the Horcrux's... but that wouldnt really make a lot of sense...the only other idea I had is that Harry himself is the last Horcrux, and that Draco is destined to kill him.
It would kind of sense, as Tom Riddle was supposed to create his Horcrux's as celebrations of great or special murders - and James Potter would have been a special murder. Plus Harry took on some of Tom's powers (talking to snake's, and they have the same wand, etc...) when Tom's AK failed to kill Harry... so maybe he placed the last portion of his soul into Harry then, which is why they have this affinity.. and that Tom can't die until Harry does, or something inside him does, and somehow Draco is crucial in the whole process.
