But why then did it open when Harry told it he was about to die? How also does the clue "I open at the close" link to this? The reason it was meant to work that way was because the Resurrection Stone was only needed - and safe - for Harry once he became the True Owner of the Hallows, the Master of Death. If you laid hands on them, I wanted you to possess them safely. You are the true master of death, because the true master does not seek to run away from Death. He accepts that he must die, and understands that there are far, far worse things in the living world than dying.
The trigger for that, for Dumbledore, was specifically Harry's acceptance of his own death once all the Horcruxes save Nagini were gone; and Snape had told Harry about himself being the Last, Seventh, Horcux as we see in Snape's memories.
If there comes a time when Lord Voldemort stops sending that snake forth to do his bidding, but keeps it safe beside him under magical protection, then, I think, it will be safe to tell Harry.
And while that fragment of soul, unmissed by Voldemort, remains attached to and protected by Harry, Lord Voldemort cannot die. So, once Harry accepted that he was about to die and that he must do it to defeat Voldemort - that was when Harry would become a Master of Death and could safely possess the Resurrection Stone. I don't believe that a snitch knows when you are ready to die, or that you accept that there are 'far worse things then dying', how can it? I simply think that 'I am going to die' was the password required to open the snitch.

During the one-hour armistice that marked the end of the first half of the battle, Harry found out through the memories of Severus Snape that he himself was the last Horcrux. As he was walked to his death Harry was finally able to retrieve the Stone. He placed the Snitch to his lips and revealed his intentions to die.
At this, the Snitch opened and the Stone fell into his hand. Harry turned it over in his hand thrice, and was immediately joined by the shades of his parents , Sirius Black , and Remus Lupin.
The presence of his loved ones was enough to give him the courage to keep going, and they remained with him until he made his way to where Voldemort was. At this point, the stone slipped from Harry's hands and he never went to search for it, with the intention that it would be lost in the forest forever.

They resembled most closely the Riddle that had escaped from the diary so long ago , and he had been memory made nearly solid.
Less substantial than living bodies, but much more than ghosts, they moved toward him, and on each face, there was the same loving smile. So Death picked up a stone from the riverbank and gave it to the second brother, and told him that the stone would have the power to bring back the dead.
See this? Know what it is? Dumbledore had successfully enchanted the Golden Snitch to house the Resurrection Stone. However, the Golden Snitch simply wouldn't open at any command. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , Harry had to come to terms with the fact that he would need to sacrifice himself in order to fight back and successfully overcome the dark Lord Voldemort.
As we mentioned previously, the Golden Snitch wasn't always the small, walnut-sized ball found in modern Quidditch games. The Golden Snitch, as we know it today, was based on a design of an actual bird. Back in , the Chief of the Wizards' Council named Barberus Bragge decided to release a small bird called the Golden Snidget in the middle of a Quidditch game.
Bragge enticed the players with a cash reward, promising gold Galleons to the first player who caught the Golden Snitch. To keep in line with the tradition, a Golden Snidget would be released during all of the other Quidditch games after that.
Instead of Galleons, points were awarded to the first team who captured the Golden Snidget. At the time, Snidget-hunting was a popular hobby, and it brought the hunting pastime into the game of Quidditch.
At the first game where a Golden Snidget was used, a witch called Modesty Rabnott decided to rescue the poor Snidget, and used a Summoning Charm to grab it before anyone could catch it. Barberus Bragge, the Chief of the Wizards' Council, saw her, and actually fined her ten Galleons as punishment for disturbing the game. Rabnott saved the bird's life, but it soon became a tradition to release a Golden Snidget at every Quidditch game.
Today, the player who is responsible for finding and catching the Golden Snitch is referred to as a Seeker, but the original name was Hunter.
Eventually, the entire population of Golden Snidgets began to drop dangerously low, and the Golden Snitch was created as an alternative. The first Golden Snitch was invented by a wizard named Bowman Wright, who had a talent for charming metal.
The Golden Snitch is exactly the same weight and shape as a Golden Snidget, and the wings of the ball emulate the fast-twitching patterns of the bird. Rowling is no stranger to speaking her mind, especially when it comes to Twitter. Earlier this month, the British author revealed that one of the worst questions she has faced involves the Golden Snitch and Quidditch.
On September 9th, Rowling replied to the question, "You are trapped in an elevator with one other person. What is the worst way he can start a conversation? Why's the Snitch worth points? While some have grumbled about the differences in points being awarded in Quidditch, there have been instances where a Seeker who catches the Golden Snitch does not necessarily achieve an easy victory.
