I always found the fact that, for the most part, the lines appear 
rather divided as I find the two characters remarkably similar at 
times.  Both seem to have come from troubled homes, both have trouble 
letting old grudges die, neither seem to be able to extend or accept 
apologies, and both can be usually cruel to others (though most often 
to each).  And yet, again generally speaking, fans often think one 
disgustingly evil and the other merely a hero in diguise.

I, personally, am one of those fans who loves both characters.  I am 
both Snape-aholic and Siriophile.  I enjoy the fact that Snape is not 
a good guy and shows no real desire to ever become one - it's true to 
his personality and a sudden change from that (ie being nice to 
Harry) would ruin him as a character.  On the other hand, I like the 
bad-boyness of Sirius and if had ever apologized to Snape for his 
behavior as teen and adult I thinks I would have been greatly 
disappointed.

I to, am a fan of both and it would ruin their characters if that happened. For one in real life people don't always do the right thing even if it is obvious. But that does not make them bad and as such I still believe Sirius is good, just he is not perfect and no one is. 

As for Snape  believe he is the way he is cause forgiving some things is really hard. An we know he is Loyal to DD having reported Harry going to the Ministry. He probably is the way he is cause he prefers being alone which a lot of people do. He might find that Gaining respect was better than making friends as i have head teachers just like that. And some time they surprise us after we find out that they do have some people that they are close to. We don't know the history of Snape cause he does not put that in the pensive or if he does harry does not have enough time to explore the other thoughts before Snape catches hm. What i am saying is, we could find that He joined LV after some one who was close to him would have been help in one way or another by him joining the DE. We never see his side cause we are seeing the world through Harry's eyes 

So in a nut shell i think we need more evidence before we can say we really don't like him


Lee still trying to catch up to speed to the many discussions which are interesting and have never looked at in another point of view. I love these forums
