Believe it or not, after OoP I do think that Severus MAY turn out to 
be the devil.

Please, please refer me to the incident where Snape took a bullet for 
Harry or at least ATTEMPTED to do so. ( I do understand that it was a 
metaphor :o))

That's where I very strongly disagree. He is fighting a war indeed 
and if the rules are broken with the noble intentions in mind, I do 
excuse it.

Another very strong disagreement, no matter what physical and 
emotional hell they had been through, they are fifteen year old 
children and at the beginning of the books were eleven year olds.
Do you think that in the first book Harry was not a child either? 

That was one very quick development. :o)
