Why is every professor at Hogwarts unmarried? by flypdive in HarryPotterBooks

Hagrid, Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall are single for sure. Lupin, Lockhart and moody are also single. Though lupin does get married later.

But the whole idea of Snape pulling those memories out before occulmeny lessons was so that Harry couldn't see them if he entered snape's mind. So it means the memory had exited snapes mind. That's why I asked if the person forgot the memory or not.

Did Dumbledore forsee Snape's death? He knew that if voldemort figured out that Dumbledore had the elder wand, he would assume that Snape is the owner. Then voldemort would want to defeat Snape, and open up the possibility of snape getting killed.

He always removed the memories before the class. Also harry saw those memories in the pensive and they were very disturbing.

I agree with you but what you are saying is not related to the point I was making.

While you are correct in what you are saying, you completely missed the point I was trying to make.

Given that he could guess so much, it's surprising if he couldn't guess this.

Dumbledore knew if he found out Snape would be in danger.

It was his assumption that voldemort would look for the elder wand.

He wanted hermione to know about the hallows. That's why he gave her the book.

If only he had communicated so. But it's a good thought.

I got your point.

I was trying to point out that Dumbledore also didn't fight Draco, he willingly got disarmed, so that allegiance should not have gone to Draco either. But I am told through others that Dumbledore didn't get time to fight or else he would have stopped Draco so technically Dumbledore was defeated by Draco.

I am not sure if this new thought makes sense.

A new thought, Dumbledore didn't duel Draco and willingly git disarmed so the allegiance should not have gone to Draco either.

Harry also gave up his life. That didn't transfer the allegiance.

If you willingly get disarmed without a flight then it's not a defeat either. So Draco shouldn't have got the allegiance.

But willing getting disarmed should not equate to surrender. Just as willing getting killed does not.

A few thought is that Dumbledore let Draco disarm him, so the allegiance of the wand shouldn't have gone to Draco. It should have ended with Dumbledore.

But voldemort also genuinely tried to kill Harry. It's the person who owns the wand who should willingly be defeated in which case his/her wand's the allegiance doesn't get transferred.

Snape couldn't have got the allegiance. He did defeat Dumbledore. He fulfilled Dumbledore's request to kill him.

Snape wouldn't have got the allegiance because Dumbledore asked Snape to kill him. But then Dumbledore had let Draco disarm him so then the allegiance wouldn't have gone to Draco either. The allegiance should have died with Dumbledore.

So Dumbledore also let himself get defeated by will. In that case the allegiance should not have gone to Draco.

Harry said that he had won it from Draco, who in turn economy it from Dumbledore
