Redemption of Anakin and other redemption stories (moved from Main)

He's not in the final group around Harry (where Lily
is) because he died hating on most of them. <SNIP>

Alla:

It is not even that he is not in the final group around Harry is what makes it very telling to me. I mean, after all Albus is not there either, since Harry thinks he betrayed him, etc.

It is that he is not coming to chat with Harry in Kings Cross, it is that he is not with Dumbledore. I mean, supposedly Dumbledore is the only person for whom Snape had some sort of affection, he saved his life, he killed him on request. Would make a total sense to me if two people who need Harry forgiveness the most will come chat with him, but nope the only thing that Dumbledore would spare Snape is – poor Severus, when he learns that his plan did not work out.

Something tells me that Snape will not be sitting on cloud nine in Potterverse after life either, but it is just my opinion of course.

Magpie:
Because he wanted the truth about him known. I see nothing in that scene that
indicates he didn't hate Harry like he always did. But he was dying and Harry
had Lily's eyes at least. <SNIP>

Alla:
Agreed.
