Hey everyone,
Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory, in today’s video we’re going to be discussing Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape, and the Half-Blood Prince. More specifically, I’m going to be discussing what I expect to be quite a CONTROVERSIAL theory- as it surrounds the iconic-albeit equally tragic- death of Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. Let’s set the scene with a passage from Chapter 27 - The Lightning Struck Tower:
“Snape said nothing, but walked forwards and pushed Malfoy roughly out of the way. The three Death Eaters fell back without a word. Even the werewolf seemed cowed.
Snape gazed for a moment at Dumbledore, and there was revulsion and hatred etched in the harsh lines of his face.
'Severus ... please ..."
Snape raised his wand and pointed it directly at Dumbledore.
'Avada Kedavra!'
A jet of green light shot from the end of Snape's wand and hit Dumbledore squarely in the chest. Harry's scream of horror never left him; silent and unmoving, he was forced to watch as Dumbledore was blasted into the air: for a split second he seemed to hang suspended beneath the shining skull, and then he fell slowly backwards, like a great rag doll, over the battlements and out of sight.”
The above passage of course refers to Dumbledore’s death at the hands of Severus Snape- a moment that shocked the wizarding world to its core. Dumbledore, in some ways, was a beacon of hope for the good guys- a powerful and wise old wizard that even Voldemort feared. But when he was struck with Snape’s avada kedavra, that all changed- and in that moment, Harry felt more helpless than ever.
Dumbledore’s death was a BIG DEAL- he was 115 years old, and had made a profound impact on the wizarding world over the course of his life. His death also raised a lot of questions- how could the WISE and POWERFUL Dumbledore be defeated in such an paltry manner? Surely if he had wanted to survive- he could have, right?
