I never said it was; I postulated that it *might* be *part* of it. The
whole point was that we *don't* know. The original thread was about
whether or not Harry's point of view is really coloring what we, as
readers, see and understand about the action and the characters. I think
it does, and Snape was my example--Harry's interpretation of his
motivations and actions are valid, but probably far from complete, but
since we as readers only share Harry's interpretation, our view of Snape
is colored.
