Okay, here's the thing:  I've been reading all these posts about how Snape 
could be nice and how he's irrational and all this other stuff.  But he's 
NOT.  He's Snape.  Wouldn't the book series be really boring if everyone were 
nice and good and true all the time?  Snape adds a dimension to the books!  
Not everyone is gonna be nice to people - even when horrible things happen.  
Example (a tiny OT, but it serves a point): Recently, a girl's mother died.  
She's in band and choir with me.  My friend Laura doesn't really like the 
girl.  I asked if we were going to the funeral home and she said "No, we 
don't like Danica."  (END STORY) Okay, here it is: Some people just aren't 
nice.  I love Laura to death, but she can be evil.  Snape-y at times.  Snape 
is not a good guy.  Snape is alot more complex than everyone is giving him 
credit for.  But to understand, you can't read the books from the "Yeah! Go 
Harry!" cheerleader POV.  You have to read objectively (yeah AP English!).  
If you can't believe that some things are more than what they seem, that's 
when *I* think you're reading the wrong book.  Cuz that's what HP is about to 
me.  Things aren't always that they seem.  IMHO, of course.

(Who absolutely *LOVES* all the Snape discussion, even if it's people bashing 
him, because it solidifies how she thinks of him!)
