>>On the contrary, I see Snape as the ultimate Slytherin.  <<

***Koticzka's comment: I liked your explanation very much! Well, if not by some
characteristic features they would organize a lottery or divide students by
names. The point I do not agree with is that I do not see Snape as the ultimate
Slytherin. Accent on "ultimate". He is certainly Slyth and I do not suppose
that the Sorting hat had any trouble with him! Or rather: being the ultimate
Slytherin does not say whether one is good ar bad. His way of acting would not
indicate it for me.
I still consider breaking rules as not noble and moral (ethical) - regardless of who is doing it!

[Snape] maybe kill a muggle-born he didn't want to kill... say someone named
after a flower starting with the letter "L"?

***Koticzka's comment: Not likely. Considering Harry's memories... No, I
will not prove it now. I do not believe thoeries like this, Snape's love for Lilly - not mentioned by you...

I do not think Snape is good in setting strategies (as Ron Weasley is -
chess!). He uses logical thinking - rare in WW (Hermione's statement during
solving the riddle in PS/SS) - perhaps it is his strengh and weakness at
the same time? (refering to Darrin DEFENDING STONE WAS - logic is not in a
"magical good behaviour style"). Oh, not on the subject, forgive me, I am
apparrently in love... Coming to the point: he has his aim and follows it. The aim is to defeat Voldemort. To protect good and fight evil. Which does not exclude teasing, being malicious and all those adjectives I do not know, virtues
which make him so hard and nasty in everyday living. Yet he happens to be
noble (life-debts again).

Pure blood or not? Hm, difficult question but maybe not that difficult as
some mudblood's life in the great House of Slytherin? <smirks ironically and
bitterly> Does Snape care? Or perhaps he has bigger problems? Or
perhaps he does understand the difference between good and evil and treats
them - Muggles or at lest Mudbloods as equals? Which I suppose he does...
NOT - that Muggles are a concern. I suppose that the abilities of someone's mind
are more important to him, which includes magical abilities, too, which you
could grant to Ravenclaw rather... <smirks anxiosly>

More comments on Darrin post coming soon.

How can you hurt a man who has nothing?
Give him something broken.
