   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...
