You don't say! And here I thought Shakespeare was obliged to kill
Mercutio so that Romeo would kill Tybalt, which, in turn, would lead
to his banishment to Mantua and separation with Juliet. Shows how
blind one can be.(Wonder why did Shakespeare neglect to dispatch
Shylock in the same manner?)
But wait, Snape is still alive! It's Dumbledore who got himself
killed. Does that mean that he's grown more interesting than the
hero? I kinda see your point.
