I think 5 AND 6 needed to have a weedwacker taken to them... SERIOUSLY. They just kinda went on and on. I do agree that the wandering the countryside got old, especially since there were things Harry wanted to do... go to Godric's Hollow... and things they should do... go through the gifts Dumbledore gave them, including that book, page by page.
See, I never really fell for the evil Snape bit. Dumbledore was too crafty to trust a double agent without some concrete evidence, and the falling on your own sword bit is just too common. The minute he got the cursed hand, I knew he'd do himself in. When he made Harry make him drink the poison, well, I was plenty pissed at him for hurting Harry that way, but I knew he had already mapped out his own death. And really, who better to kill him than Snape who could use his willingness to kill Dumbledore as the ultimate proof. It was the classic sacrifice of the queen.
