I beg to differ with ALL of you who have said that Manjoo did not spoil anything for anyone. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it. It was quite clear in the previous HP book if two people are going to die, then Snape needs to go way at the top of the "most likely to take a dirt nap" list. And now we know (90% certain, unless the quote was from a flashback) he at least makes it 90% of the way through the book. That stinks. So as I read Deathly Hollows, any time Snape is in danger before page 680-something, I can feel relatively certain that he'll make it out alive.
That's a spoiler. And that's crappy.
