Snape is the most interesting character in the book. Hagrid is a 
pretty close runner-up and might even pass up Snape in the next book 
if the Giants are featured predominantly.

Anyway, I do not feel that Snape and Harry have to reconcile at the 
end of the series for it to be a truly great ending. We have accepted 
their relationship thus far. Life is like that. There are some people 
that just do not get along. It would make me giggle if, at the end, 
Harry destroyed Voldemort in a puff of red smoke and Snape tried to 
take 50 points off of Gryffindor because it happened in the 
summertime.
