Dòng 93:
Also noteworthy is that this chapter fully explains why Snape was so eager to see Sirius Black turned over to the Dementors, and why he retained his hatred for Sirius even after both realized they were on the same side. Sirius Black had been framed as an accessory to Lily's murder. The Order of the Phoenix believed at the time that Sirius betrayed Lily and James. Snape wanted revenge on Sirius for his lost love's murder. Even after Sirius' innocence was established, Snape continued to hate Sirius, though his lingering resentment over their antagonistic schooldays at Hogwarts likely also fueled his emotions. Snape may also have blamed Sirius for trusting Peter Pettigrew and inadvertently causing Lily's death; but as we have also seen with Percy, it can be easier to forgive someone for being wrong than it is to forgive them for being right, and it is more likely that Sirius being proved innocent only deepened Snape's now unreasoning hatred towards him.
In the analysis section, we note that it is possible that Narcissa Malfoy is another informant for Dumbledore within Voldemort's camp. This is possible because, by this time, the Malfoy family as a whole is so low in Voldemort's estimation that he is unlikely to subject them to the sort of examination that Snape receives as Voldemort's right-hand man. As he believes they are relatively incapable, he does not assign them the sort of major tasks that would require him to place much trust in them. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 34|We will see later]] that Narcissa, on learning that Harry is still alive, and knowing that a triumphal entrance into Hogwarts is the only way to assure Draco's survival, lies to Voldemort and says that Harry is dead. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 2|Earlier, also,]] we have seen her approach Snape, in direct violation of Voldemort's orders, to attempt to gain Snape's assistance in the task Voldemort has set for Draco. Clearly, then, Narcissa is willing to secretly defy Voldemort, repeatedly, for the sake of her son's safety. In the matter of Draco's mission in the previous book, clearly Narcissa is going to be very nearly the first to know about it, and if she is casting wildly about for aid, she could well have approached Dumbledore. It is also possible that she approached someone else, possibly [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Mundungus Fletcher|Mundungus Fletcher]], who in turn passed the information to Dumbledore, but once it gets to that remove, speculation is useless.
The key item that Harry takes away from this is the message that Dumbledore had required Snape to pass on to Harry: that Harry must allow himself to be killed in order that the last Horcrux be destroyed. We must be careful about the wording here, of course; note that while Snape refers to the soul shard as a Horcrux, Dumbledore does not. This, it turns out, is critical to Harry's future; a Horcrux is magically bound to its container, and the container must be destroyed in order to destroy the Horcrux. The soul shard within Harry, while acting as a Horcrux in that it would anchor Voldemort's flayed soul to the earth, is not bound to Harry, but is simply clinging to him, and can be separated from Harry and destroyed by means that are less destructive to Harry.
However, Harry is too dismayed by the other implications of this conversation to discern such fine points; he has just learned that in order to finally defeat Voldemort, Harry must allow Voldemort to kill him. Given Voldemort's announcement at this chapter's beginning, Harry believes that the same magic that protected him after Lily's death may be invoked by his own death to protect Hogwarts' defenders from Voldemort.
While Harry is currently far too occupied with current events to be able to deal with the major revelations in this chapter, we will see that he does accept that Snape had been acting to protect him. In the Epilogue, we will learn that Harry had named his second son Albus Severus, after two headmasters of Hogwarts, and that he felt the one from Slytherin was one of the bravest men he had ever met.
