Answer: J.K. Rowling had an afterthought and twisted the tale in the last book, making a fun 'n simple tale into a complicated whodunit

He was a "good guy" in the sense that he was loyal to Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix. He did have his bad character traits. On the other hand, while he was headmaster, he had to make it look realistic - it had to look as if he was working for Voldemort.

Is Severus Snape a good guy?

Good and bad are subjective terms, people do both good and bad. Severus Snape certainly wasn't without fault - he did a lot of bad things, but he also did a lot of good things. Snape joined the death eater initially, but was later instrumental in destroying Lord Voldemort.

Do you really want to know without reading it first. Or are you waiting for the movie. If you want to spoil it ok Snape does. But Snape is also a good guy. So I won't tell you why he did. You have to wait until Number 7 for that one. If you want to know read it.

How dumbledore died?

Professor Snape uses the Avada Kedavra curse against him at the end of The Half-Blood Prince. This was a pre-arranged deal between Snape and Dumbledore, as we learn in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows-Dumbledore preferred that Snape kill him since he knew death was coming and he wanted it to be painless. He did not want to have to deal with getting attacked by Fenrir Greyback or getting tortured by Bellatrix Lestrange.

Why did Dumbledore apoint so manybad teachers in Harry Potter?

*SPOILER* If by bad teachers you're refuring to Snape, than I wouldn't call him "bad". As you find out in Deathly Hallows, Snape is double agnet, pretending to be loyal to Voldemort while really being a good guy and giving Dumbledore information he needs. Snape tells Voldemort that he's pretending to work for Dumbledore while truly being loyal to him. Although there are quit a few times when I was very convinced that Snape belonged to the Dark Lord and I think sometimes that his old Death Eater ways did take over his body and he became loyal to Voldemort. Yes Snape was a Death Eater. The one thing that really seems to stump people about trusting Snape is Dumbledore's death. Yes, Snape did kill Dumbledore but, oddly it was planned. I've already given away WAY to much. Long live Harry Potter. -Luna
