Because he thinks it’s a good joke…

Do _not_ go to [www.tshirthell.com](http://www.tshirthell.com) unless you’ve already read the book. 😃

I really, really want the Snape is Innocent shirt, but I feel I should wait a bit before wearing it. 😃

I was going to post a thread about that and thought I’d jump in here to see if anyone beat me…Ya did!

I got caught! I haven’t read the book yet and went to [tshirthell.com](http://tshirthell.com) to find a tshirt for a bachelor party…I just fell over laughing! It’s great, I love it, it is spoiled for me now, but the shirt makes up for it.

I so want that t-shirt.

Except, I am out of my black phase.

Can I get it in pink cause I’m trying to be a fookin’ girly girl.

The shirt overplays it’s joke. For example, saying “there I saved you 4 hours and $30.” People read the book for pleasure, not to learn Dumbledore dies. And they don’t pay $30 unless maybe they’re Canadian.

Less is more. “Snape kills Dumbledore” would be funnier.
