5. JKR is setting up Snape as a big moral challenge for Harry at some point
in the
series.

(I am indebted for this one to someone who wrote a post about it. I don't
know who
this person was, and I'm not trying to find it now. But the post contained a
line about
how "Harry is heading down the path to the rocky precipice where he shouts
'The
Ring is MINE!'" Post-writer, you know who you are, I suppose. Thanks.)

--That was me. (to quote the seagulls from FINDING NEMO, "Mine. Mine. Mine"
You get the drill.) And I still think that one of these days Harry is going
to try Crucio, only to have it work. And he is going to end up Regretting
It. It will be a make-or-break point for Harry, right up there with the one
for Luke in the swamps of Dagobah when he cuts off Vader's head, only to see
his own face inside.

Only, it'll be Snape on the ground. (Ok, Darrin will like it...)

Unfortunately, I think it's going to be in book 7, and that we're going to
have to Wait!(blast it!).
