I wasn't certain where to post this, so I started a new thread.
Anyway, so can I assume we're all familiar with the story of the Three Brothers and the Deathly Hallows?
Okay, so recently I've come across this meme (probably an old one) that has Voldemort, Snape, and Harry as the modern day equivalents of the Three Brothers. And apparently it's a pretty popular theory.
Voldemort - the Eldest Brother
Snape - the Second Brother
Harry - the Third Brother
Now, I understand Voldemort and Harry. Voldemort was an arrogant wizard convinced of his own invincibility - he sought power and the Elder Wand led him to his death. Harry, owner of the Invisibility Cloak, successfully evaded Death for years (seriously, anyone else would have been dead several times over at least) and only 'died' when he decided to go willingly.
What I don't understand is Snape? He has no connection to the Hallows, aside from a misunderstanding with the Elder Wand. Dumbledore had used the Sword of Gryffindor to destroy the ring/stone before eventually passing it along to Harry, so IIRC Snape never had anything to do with it.
I'm hoping someone can explain this to me - where is this coming from? Why wouldn't Dumbledore be the better choice for the Second Brother? He actually had the Resurrection Stone, had a lost loved one he wanted to recall from the grave, and it led directly to his death (which would have otherwise never occurred had he not given into temptation).
