reaction and more to the side of acknowledgement that Snape...
well, is OK guy. :o)(Pippin, correct me, if I am wrong, please)
Pippin:
Goodness me, no, no,no, Snape is not OK! Snape is damaged.
He is so damaged he may never get any better. He has done
evil, and I think we will be shocked when we find out how much.
So what? Is Harry so perfect that he deserves to inhabit a world
of perfect people? I don't think so.
But Snape has not done as much damage to Harry as Harry
thinks, IMO. Snape's not okay, but he's not a dementor either.
He's like a boggart dementor. Aside from a jar of cockroaches,
Snape has never used any weapon against Harry except Harry's
own fear of being found unworthy. I suggest that Harry take that
weapon away from him.
Or Harry could decide to wait till Snape gets better before
finding a way to deal with him. But I think he could wait a very
long time. Of course Harry has a right to expect all adults to be
more emotionally stable and healthy than he is...or does he? Is
that just another prejudice?
