The thing is only a few knew that Draco had orders to kill Dumbledore.

But the more I think about it, and the further I get in slowly rereading the book, I'm thinking that Snape might be good. But I think Harry will kill him in the next book before he really knows. And then he'll find out later why Dumbledore blindly trusts him. Because as I said earlier, there has to be something more than just Snape telling Voldemort the first prophecy.

As for the next release, I heard the seventh book is already written. Don't know how true or not true that is.

It isn't finished. Only parts of it have been written, such as the last chapter and a few other spots. There's still quite a bit to go and she isn't going to start writing it for maybe a year or so according to an interview she had with mugglenet. I think she deserves a little time off.

OMG ... revelation: Snape's Potions Book as the last Horcruxe ...

The textbook didn't have a lot of purpose this book except for getting Harry a good mark, getting him in trouble, and teaching him a few knew curses. Also, it wasn't revealed until the very end that Snape was the Half Blood Prince. So to have the title named after it, it would have to play a significant role in the series, and because it didn't in this book, it should in the next.
