I love my daughter. She is brilliant and many kinds of wonderful. She comes up the the most logical theories about what is happening in Harry Potter.
We were reading Chapter Nine "The Half-Blood Prince". In the beginning she said that she thought Voldemort was the Half-Blood Prince. Good, if obvious, deduction and one I know she wasn't happy with.
When Harry got the Potions book and it turned out to be filled with very helpful information, she looks at me and says: I bet that's Snape's old book. She then goes on to say that Rowling describes Snape's writing the same way she describes the writing in the potions book Harry has. When I dared, her too, she even went so far as to find the point in OotP where Snape's writing is described the same way. (She's terrific at doing things like that, btw, and it's on page 641 of OotP, if you want to check.) Both times she describes the writing as small/minuscule and cramped.
She now says, with complete certainty, that Snape is the Half-Blood Prince. This does not bode well for Snape staying on the side of the angels.
What I like best about Snape is that he can still fall either way. Everything he has ever done, in any of the books, can be explained in such a way to support that he is working for Dumbledore or for Voldemort.
Still, either way, I think Myr is onto something.
And, please, no spoilers beyond Chapter 9 in the comments please. It's more fun to guess, even if we turn out to be wrong.

I need an icon of somebody bound and gagged. Can you think of a nice pic? Or maybe I need an Illya icon, after this weekend, eh? *GRIN*
