Alla:

You ARE a very good writer, Pippin and I understand that you want 
Harry to let Snape off the hook, just as I hope he won't do it.
Nevertheless I think that Harry IS kind and forgiving soul and it is 
possible that you are right and he will forgive Snape for how he 
persecuted him while being his teacher IMO ( yes, I think 
mistreating the person for who his parents were is persecution). In 
fact, if I see genuine remorse on Snape's behalf, I would even be 
happy with Harry forgiving him, if he is DD!M of course.


But I do hope that even in your scenario at least Harry won't let 
Snape off the hook for his parents deaths' because no matter how you 
look at it, without Snape telling Voldemort the prophecy, Voldemort 
may not have gone after Potters and they may have been alive.

Of course, then the books would not have happened, but we are 
talking about the story from within here, right?

So, yes, I do want Harry to answer - yes, you contributed to my 
parents' deaths, but Voldemort is the one who killed them.

Again, won't call Jo a bad writer or anything if she won't do as I 
would love to, just describing what would satisfy me the most as a 
reader.

JMO,
