Apr 25, 2018 at 22:27 comment added Pryftan Oh and I suspect somehow that Severus wouldn't have actually been keen on poisoning Dumbledore. On the contrary he wanted to make it fast and painless (he also saved Dumbledore from a powerful curse didn't he? It could be believed to be poison except it wasn't). He didn't want Dumbledore dead but he was dying and it was part of Dumbledore's plan to help destroy Voldemort once and for all. Severus maybe became a Death Eater but I don't think he could willingly kill someone (tried saving lives!) - except he was ordered to and even then he wanted to get around it (despite the Unbreakable Vow).
Apr 25, 2018 at 22:25 comment added Pryftan He sort of had to let Draco go along with that didn't he? He knew what he was tasked with and although yes it's dangerous he always did stress for the greater good. Who knows what he'd have done if another person had died but nobody else did (well until a Death Eater decided to indiscriminately fire off AK!). Dumbledore had to and he was dying anyway; keep in mind he was also saving Draco too! I refer not to just his soul but his life too (and he even offers to help take his family and give them safety - from the Order perhaps? But then the Death Eaters and Severus arrive...)
