Alla:

I think I agree, Susan, to the certain extent. I think that SHOULD 
be the option, if nothing else will work. I would not go as far 
as "turning the other cheek", but I guess postponing Harry's 
defiance till everything will end.

It would be fun to see Harry dueling with Snape AFTER the final 
battle (it would mean they both survived it :o)) AND Harry winning.

I am torn - I definitely want to see Snape pay for what he did to 
Harry, but I also want him to change and have some peace at the end 
(me, optimist, me. :o))
