Hello, and a question

Welcome, Amanda -- There have been a number of discussion threads 
about Snape -- just use the search feature to find them.  Also take a 
look at the archived messages from the Yahoo incarnation of this 
group.  We moved from Yahoo to e-groups last month.

There's also a poll about Snape that's only been going a couple of 
days.  You can vote for one of the answers already given, or you can 
start your own poll.  

IMHO, the only truth about Snape lies in JKR's brain.  He could go 
any direction that she wants him to (while remaining true to the HP 
universe). Other possibilities (other universes?) can be found in fan 
fiction -- there's a good fanfic site under "Links."

Again, welcome,
-Jim Flanagan


> A question---in all the groups I've observed, nobody's talking 
about Snape. Can I get your thoughts on him? He seems to be such a 
complex character---any theories (I've got a few) on *why* he stays 
with the good guys? Why Dumbledore trusts him?
