I love finely layered characters too-and Snape has so many layers-so 
too, does Sirius.  When these two powerhouse personalities collide-
watch out!!  There will be fireworks.  In book 4, they shook hands at 
Dumbledore's request-barely.  It will be very interesting to see what 
happens between these two characters in later books -and IMO, another 
confrontation is bound to occur.  I too have come to believe that 
Snape is acting under orders-but whose?  Dumbledore? Voldemort? or 
perhaps both?  IMO, Snape is definitely walking a fine line.

novel memorable
