Eloise:

Although I hear Annemehr's objections to this (not quoted), it 
struck a chord in my mind.

huge snip.

Snape, in his own, unsympathetic way, has been trying to do 
right by Harry for some time. 


Alla:

Honestly, I would probably heard you before OOP. Not after 
Occlumency failure, sorry!

I don't believe that Snape had been trying to do right by Harry for 
some time. I DO believe that he may have tried to pay his debt to 
James in PS/SS. I do believe that he may have guarded Harry because 
of Dumbledore's orders. I don't agree that Snape cares in the 
slightest whether Harry lives or dies. I may believe though that 
Snape will come to realise that Harry is his best chance to see 
Voldemort's dead.
Since I do believe that Snape wants Voldemort dead , I hope that 
Snape will cooperate with Harry if only for that reason.

Just my opinion, of course.

Alla, who hates being sick. :o)
