I was on another list talking about HP and someone posted this. I
found it fascinationg enough to put it here. It about the meaning of
the Major Arcana card called The Tower and in the picture shown on
the site it is being struck by lightning. I don't know if that's the
way it is normally shown or if that is just one artists
interpretation. The arcana has some interesting things that might
apply to Snape and/or Dumbledore since that chapter was entitled the
lightning struck tower.
here is the pic: http://www.learntarot.com/maj16.htm
these are the major meanings:
SUDDEN CHANGE
RELEASE
DOWNFALL
REVELATION
Three of these meanings would make more sense if Snape is evil.
Sudden Change, Downfall, Revelation (of his ESEness) would all make
more sense if he was a double dealer. On the other hand, Release
would make more sense if he was still good in the sense of releasing
DD's pain/burden.
It's a fascinating thought experiment. As much as I would like to
believe Snape is evil because I'm always willing to think the worst
of him, I am truly not sure if he is DD's betrayer or not. My
instincts say yes, but if DD was wrong this whole time about Snape
he will look like a huge fool and I don't know that JKR wants that
for Dumbledore.
