Stephanie:
I agree.. Being a Snape fan I was afraid they wouldn't show any of the 
Prince's Tale chapter, they did but from what it looks like that no one 
else knows that Snape was good. But then again, there was no mention of 
Dumbledore had asking Snape was set up to be the next headmaster that he 
would do all in Snape's power to protect the students and teachers so 
there really any reason, I think, why Snape would just block the spells 
and then run.. But then again the movie made it seem that once Snape and 
Lily were sorted into different houses that their friendship ended...
