[HPforGrownups] Could Snape be in love with Lily?

[Amanda Lewanski]

No: HPFGUIDX 19708

Welcome, O Enlightened One! Several of we who love Snape think as you
do, for much the same reasons. It is, however, a hot debate to this very
day (raging even as we speak over at Snapefans)--largely because there's
no evidence either way. Yet. Although We Know We're Right, all of us....

My very first post, lo these many months ago, was the very same
question. So welcome to the list, I applaud your fine taste in
characters and perception, and you might want to explore the archives,
too, for some fun with this topic in the past.
