Arg, I hope not. Harry saves the day enough. I want some on-page
Hero!Snape action. Even if it's Reluctant-and-griping-hero!Snape. It's
long overdue to see some unequivocal proof that Snape is a good guy.

<nod> It'd be nice to see Harry at least learn when to hold his tongue
and control his anger. CapsLock!Harry had his use in the last book, but
if he keeps that up, I'm gonna reach through the pages and smack him.

I've always had a nasty mental image of Snape holding someone on the
brink of death, not letting him die or recover. Like, say, knowing how to
bring Sirius back from the veil but not telling anyone? Yeah, I know, not
likely, I'm just desperate when it comes to Sirius. I've read a million
angsty fanfics and they're killing me! I need a happy ending, dammit!
