Hmm. Interesting here too... and I still think that the Order majorly fucked Snape up. I mean, majorly. Whether they killed him right there since his wand was raised (and, let's face it, nobody really needed an excuse to kill him) or whether they took him back to ... somewhere? In my mind's eye, Severus dies right there on the ground hit by a volley of AKs and other curses, made all the more powerful by the rage and hate and other negative emotions that were coursing through the casters as they did their thing. In fact, strange though this sounds, I almost want to write a fic based solely on that... the second-by-second last minute(s) of someone's life....

Ooh! See, now your thinking has made ME think! :o)
