Why didn't you talk about the morality? Snape has never shown
himself to have moral either...he enjoys taunting *children*, and
have absolutely no problem handing a man to the dementor's kiss.
Rowling also declared that Snape was a true DE for a time, meaning
that he tortured/raped children, and he probably enjoyed it (Dark
arts being addictice, blablabla... would explain too the refusal of
teaching dada). I have trouble as envisioning such a man as *moral*.
Another thing I have trouble with Snape: an awful lot of people see
him as *rational* and *calm*... While he has proven everything but
that. We have seen him with Moody and how his vein is apparants in
anger, how he is unable to lie or to calm himself... Snape is *not*
good with subterfuge. The reason that Voldemort didn't realise he
was a spy is probably *because* of that, after all, Snape is the
kind of person to truly enjoy DE's duties...
