For the love of Snape

  Hi-
Thanks to everyone for reading my post about Snape dying for Harry.  I 
was so glad to read that you liked it.  I have to give credit to my 
mom, though, for suggesting it - I just went with it from there (yes, 
I made her read all 4 books!).

Anyway, does anyone else think Snape is as complicated as I do?  It's 
so interesting to me that he hates Harry and his Gryffindor friends so 
much, was once a death eater, and yet is so loyal to Dumbledore - we 
know from the Pensieve that he tells Dumbledore some very private 
things.  I never thought that he had a thing for Lily until I read 
your posts - how interesting.  It certainly raises questions for me as 
to why he really hated James so much in the first place...

I find that I just can't hate Snape.  In fact, I like him quite a bit.  
I am very much looking forward to seeing him more developed in the 
next books.  Will he always so openly hate Harry, or will we see a 
change of heart in him?  Hmmm...

hear why you two didn't arrive on the school train."
