Omega! A sudden flash of insight

[lavivi]

So, after reading this post that even further confirmed that Dumbledore's about to die (Really, at this point if the sixth book happens, and he's still alive at the end, I for one will receive just as much shock as though we had no warning.), buttaflykisses3 and I were discussing some of the direct consequences, especially upon Hogwarts.

And so I thought, well, McGonagall will become headmistress, of course, as she's deputy.  Headmistress McGonagall.

Then I thought, who will become deputy headmaster/mistress in her place?

And instantly it hit me - SNAPE.

Maybe it's because I read a fic where he ends up as headmaster when both Dumbledore and McGonagall were gone - first it made me go WTF - then I realized, oh.  Of course.  That turns Hogwarts into a place of terror, but still.

Anyway.  Anyone disagree?  Would like to suggest Binns would run for deputy headmaster?

 

In conclusion:  God, it's fun to predict Ms. Rowling's every move.

I have to admit that I would be rather ecstatic if Dumbledore was brutally killed in HBP or the seventh book. I've never been much of a fan of him (He was ok in SS until he awarded all those points to Gryffindor and unfairly took the House Cup away from Slytherin.). I've had a theory about how he's actually an evil man who plots with Voldemort and kills bunnies going ever since I read GoF.

McGonagall would make an awesome Headmistress I think and I would just die, of happiness, if Snape was made Deputy Headmaster. He is by far the best character in the books and I can just never get enough of him. Making him Deputy Headmaster would just be the icing on the cake for me.
