Jux-ta-position is hard to explain. See, GW enjoys using running bits(repeated words that seem insignificant but aren't) to make predictions about later parts of the book. For instance:
book 1- They kept talking about music, dumbledore and flamel both liked chamber music, and they sang a school song. At the end of the book, music was what calmed fluffy.
book 2- they kept talking about staring eyes. eyes of the spiders, eyes of the house elf, and staring eyes turned out to be what petrified those people.
But in book 5 the words could have multiple meanings and were used quite often, but in different places, so GW said that if 2 words like bark(as in on a tree) and tree were used close together(their position, so jux-ta-position being close together) there is probably something important about trees later in the book. It's real confusing, but do u understand it now?

Snape said that he could create a stopper death in SOS, so why doesn't he use this power to protect Harry?

Snape hates harry, that's why. Dumbledore would have to force him to use a potion to save Harry. Amazing how both Harry's parents managed to have people with grudges against them, both making harry's life quite difficult.

Well, if he does graduate, it shows that Harry survives, meaning Voldemort is probably defeated... which would also be a spoiler for the series. It could be taken either way (and I wouldn't be surprised if she meant it to). They could have a lady and the tiger type ending, like it looks like he won and everything's great and he's catching a train home to privet drive to gather his things before moving into the wizard world forever more when a dark shadow comes over the tracks and the train screeches to halt... |

That ending would be cool.
I'm still convinced that both Harry and Voldemort will die in the end.

That would probably be a decent ending. The bad guy is gone, but alas, so is the good guy. But everyone else gets to celebrate the true fall of voldie and go out for wizard pizza.
