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.

*nods* That's why I, and probably others, assume Snape. It was he who accompanied McGonagall and Dumbledore to rescue Harry from Moody/Crouch Jr.

Snape for Deputy Head!

You need strict discipline in a large school like Hogwarts. Flitwick is a pushover and Sprout seems like she'd also be rather lax in the discipline department. Despite their House rivalries, if it's one thing that Severus and Minerva would agree on, it's the need for rules and proper behavior. Actually, making Deputy Head might temper Snape's bitterness -- he'd get some recognition and some respect.
