Alla:


You misunderstood me again. I am not asking to get rid of Snape as a 
teacher now. By all means not. I am perfectly happy that he is going 
to stay in the story till the end.

In fact that is the only reason why I am still able to sympathise 
with him.


But I am most defnitely hoping that at the end of the series, if he 
is alive, he will find himself a new profession.


I think it is a possibility.
