"And what will Ты give me in return, Severus ?" "Anything." Another Unbreakable Vow ?

i agree with Ты ;) great answer

Yes, great answer, thanks for your input. Actually I thought that Severus loving Lily and feeling guilt was indeed strong but probably not enough to last over time. Especially when it went to protect her son - James Potter's son too. Severus was reluctant to have the Potters protected. Dumbledore may be careful in this regard.

what do Ты mean he wouldn't go that far he made the unbreakable vow for draco so he would obviously do it for Lily but then again Dumbledore asked him to kill him so he he'd to make the vow

I agree with Ты there. Don't like Dumbledore much either. He's much too manipulative and controling. Even as a portrait he still keeps information from Severus and bosses him around.

So true. Did Ты notice how he surounded himself with those of disfunctional families, abused emotionally, those rejected by society. Hence they return loyality and do his will.

@Bri-marie : to follow Ты in your reasoning, Ты forgot to mention Ron, who also comes from a loving and caring family, and had not spoken much to the Headmaster either. How true.

True, but Dumbledore wouldn't possibly know that Snapes Любовь for Lily would last. He is suprised when Snape shows him his patronus. On the other hand, it's a lot еще likely that Dumbledore would believe in the strength of love, than the forcing of an Unbreakable Vow...

I agree with you, SiriusSeverus. However, SilverDoe shows a point : the extent of Severus' Любовь for Lily. If there was no Unbreakable Vow involved, then Severus has even еще merit to have lived and fought the way he did during his whole life.

Thanks for your input. That's Albus' murder that made me think Severus had been imposed an Unbreakable Vow by the Headmaster. He was reluctant ("My soul, Dumbledore, what about my soul ?") and indeed let Draco do. But no. I don't think Severus was moved by scare. That's why I thought about an Unbreakable Vow. Like Ты said, who knows ?

He did it because because Albus begged him to do it. He was already under the obligation of the umbreakable vow made to Narcissa to kill Dumbledore if Draco was unable to. That Albus had to beg him to do it, showed us Severus to be trully loyal and courageous He was willing to run the risk of dying by not fulfilling the vow he made to Narcissa. He only cast the killing curse after Albus asked him to again. That to me also showed us the kind of Man Albus was. In the end not so different to Tom. Bothe were willing to use, manipulate and sacrifice others to achieve their own goals. Both Tom and Albus thought they were working for the betterment of the wizarding world, and both went about it the same way. Getting their own followers, disregarding and working against their government, using and manipulating people, indoctronising children, keeping important information from their allies, the Список goes on...

In the end Tom was actually еще honest than Dumbledore. His followers knew where they stood with him. Dumbledore put вперед a caring and doting facade while all the while he was using them to achive his own goals.

Indeed. Yet, in case there was an Unbreakable Vow between the two, I think that Albus would have asked his own brother Aberforth to be the Bonder. Aberforth was discreet enough to keep the secret. He was the "silent brother" of the pair. Besides, he has no illusion regarding Albus' manipulative strike. Plus, he had thrown an eavesdropping Severus outta his pub. Hence he would not have any scruples either in accepting to be the Bonder on his brothers's request.

yeah it could be tru we should ask JK
