What are your hopes for the character of Severus Snape?  Where 
would you like to see his character going.  On the other hand, what 
are your fears about where you think his character WILL go?
<SNIP>
Where I fear he IS going is:
 
1) his inability to control his feelings with regard to Harry will
lead to disaster,
2) I think he will end up being on the good side in the end, but 
thecost of his "redemption" will be his death;
3) I doubt we will ever see any real growth in his character;
 


Alla:

Well, I stated just about ten thousand times that I agree with your 
hopes for Snape, so I am not going to say it again, but I did want 
to comment on one of your fears.

I am still thinking about Peter and I am more and more inclined to 
think that he will die by saving Harry and thus earning redemption. 
If such thing happens, I think that doing the same thing with Snape 
will be a bit duplicative. I mean it is not a certainty, but a 
posibility.

Nuh, I think that Snape just may survive. :-) 

As to the first fear of yours, I think it may play out just fine 
too, IF it will happen. Maybe , it will finally help Snape to see 
Harry for himself. You know, Harry not holding such disaster against 
Snape, blah, blah, blah.

Accordingly it may lead to his character growth or it may not, since 
he IS secondary character after all.

Just my opinion,

Alla.
