This reminds me of sci-fi. The clone, with a personality, created for something or anything but self determiniation.

In this case, created for death to save another. In many ways, we are all created to die after fulfilling some purpose.

I am thinking that the clone is similar to a child, or a pet. Who knows. But THAT was an excellent dying sequence, and thanks for not turning Ron into a jerk.

One thing I can really relate to here is the aspect of Snape watching himself.

Lovely lovely heart wrenching angst and drama. You go!
