Okay, okay, see, the thing is, Dumbledore, the asshole, made Snape kill him so that everyone would think that he was definitely on Moldymort's side. Fumblemore didn't bother explainining that this would make the Dark Lord think that Snape was the master of the Elder Wand [don't ask- just- don't. JKR royally frakked up wandlore, THERE IS OFFICIALLY NO LOGIC IN HP!VERSE] and would decide to kill him in order to be the new master of the Super Special Wand of Convenient Plot Twists.
Instead of using the trust ol' Avada Kedavra which worked on 99.99% of his victims, Voldy decided that for his most trusted and supposedly loyal servant, he'd sentence Snape to death-by-Nagini [his giant pet snake].This was ridiculously OOC, but plot-required, since it allowed him to leave while Snape lay, gasping for breath as blood poured from his wound, and able to pass on vitally important memories to the Twit-headed Trio.
Once they gathered his memories [and WHY is beside the point, since they still thought he was a traitor at that point], they up and left him to die. SELFISH BRATS.
Harry and his saving people thing...couldn't be bothered.
Hermione, who earlier saved Harry from Nagini's bite...decided to forget she was the brightest witch of her age.
And Ron...well, who expects anything from Ron?
Anyway, the ONLY good thing about this 'death scene'...is exactly that. The inverted commas, you caught that, right? Since he wasn't AK'd [Voldy decided to save that spell for the only person to ever have survived it *facepalm*] and only apparently died from snake venom, it leaves open a whole host of plots to handwave it all and make up a way for him to survive.
He didn't die because:
He was in a coma! It was the Draught of Living Death! He had taken potion/s XYZ beforehand for this very eventuality and was just recovering in a still trance-like state commonly mistaken for death! Fawkes appeared and cried a few healing tears on his body! Hermione/Harry/Minerva/any Malfoy/an elf/anyone character you care to ship him with turned up and brought him back from the brink of death with a splash of Dittany [proven to help with snake wounds, not that anyone damn well bothered to try], Blood Replenishing Potions and bandages! Hermione/character X used a Time-Turner to go back and save him All the Dementor activity spread a chill across the grounds that lowered his vital scenes and helped keep him alive til medics arrived.
etc. etc. You get the idea. So many ways to save him. Screw JKR, the fans will take over from here, kthxbai. *runs away with Snape*
no subject
*blink*
Snape dies? Or... huh.
