No dear, I try (obviously not too well) to correct other members'
incorrect assumptions about Snape (and other characters as well). 
Snape doesn't need my help to make him "look better" because an
impartial and objective look at canon shows that JKR is much more
subtle in presenting Snape's actions and emotions than a lot of
readers realize.  

Your last two questions make no sense to me.  I don't need other
people's opinions to know how I feel about the HP books and their
various characters.  Some people say ABC, I post and say XYZ and
that's called an exchange of opinions.  

Your underlying assumption that "snape apologists" are doing some
serious revisioning of the novels is not shared unanimously by other
posters either, at least from what I can see.

in the next two books, even after he snuffs it)
