[HPforGrownups] Snape: evil or good

Yes, I agree with that.  I have not seen the interviews either.  But 
keeping an eye on
a character doesn't mean that he is going to do something really evil, to 
me it just
sounds like he will do something unexpected or a bit out of character to 
Harry, seeing
as Harry has him painted black.
