Joj:  I so agree with you.  I simply can't believe the way some list members (not bashing, just astounded by some of the things I read here)  make excuses for Snape and sugarcoat his abuse of Harry, Neville and others.  He is a very complex and interesting character, but he is no hero.  Not to say he isn't against Voldemort, or hasn't done good, but he's abusive to his students!  There is absolutly no excuse for his treatment of Harry since the second he met him.  None!

Harry was certainly wrong to go in Snapes pensive, no question about it.  I hardly think, however, that Harry's offense is worse than anything Snape has done to him.  

Snape is the worst kind of bully.  He dosen't bully adults or equals of any kind.  He bullies children who has he has certain control of because of his job.  That's a coward in my book.  Nothing he has done for the Order or against Voldemort makes his bullying ok.

I hope Harry does apologize to Snape.  It will give us just one more example of how much better of a person Harry is than Snape.


Joj, who enjoys the character of Snape, but sees his faults for what they are.
