Ummmm, Snape thinks he can out wit the Dark Lord's jinx/curse on the 
Dark Arts job?? Is the the same Snape that says the Dark Lords word 
is law??
OK, so, Snape thinks he can outwit the dark lords jinx/curse. Snape 
doesn't believe in that sort of thing, he is to smart for that sort 
of thing, doesn't believe in jinxes, curses, or prophecies? Well, 
that explains why he ran back to the dark lord with the prophecy, 
those jinxes/curse/prophecies are nothing really. I'm so arrogant, I 
can beat the dark lords curse, baa, silly prophecy, the dark lord'll 
never believe that. That stuff is just for looses to believe in, 
He's to arrogant...things he's better than the Dark Lord's 
jinx/curse.....HUmmmmmm....
Somehow this theory would suggest to me that, he is not loyal to the 
Dark Lord. I don't know, he is a wizard I'm sure he believe's in 
jinxes and curses and that sort of thing....after all, thats what 
they do, isn't it.

Oh yea, Harry Potter....hum, exactly, yea, he is the hero of the 
story. How many times has he been the only hero in the story?? Oh 
yea, I forgot Hermione she doesn't do anything, Nope shes not a hero.
Ron, NAA..he's just a sidekick, no hero time there. 
Dumbledore...NAaaaa, He's never done anything remotly heroic in the 
series.
Lupin, Sirius, Lily, Tonks, Neville, NOPE...No Hero's their....NOPE.

You guys, Harry is the only Hero we have in the series, it would be 
a horrible thing to find out their are other heros in the series, I 
mean, Harry has to save the day right...right..with no help, No one, 
he has to Gooo it alone, Just like he has been doing the whole 
series. YEP, it would really distroy the story if someone else 
helped him or looked heroic.

Oh wait, has Snape ever done anything heroic at all, Naaa, he only 
took an unbreakable vow to save some kid, yea, thats it, Thats not 
remotly heroic in any way.

The only way one could see it as heroic is, If you put yourself in 
Snape's position, and Your best friend comes to you and asks you do 
to an unbreakable vow to save their child from death and their whole 
family. Naaaaa, you wouldn't do that now would you??? Come on, I 
mean, Snape can't have friends. And well, there mean people anyway, 
mean people can't have friends so, it wasn't heroic at all just mean 
people using each other.


Meh, forgive my sarcasm, my inner Snape is on auto pilot today.
