Hi everyone I am new to this group and my name is Sandy I am 30 years 
old and I am a huge Potter fan and not afraid to say so. I am also a 
Star Wars freak. But anyway here, I have posted 10 reasons why I 
think Snape isn't evil. He may be fustrated at Harry or cranky 
because of other things but he isn't a supporter of....You Know 
Who........

10. He hates James Potter and what's even worse? His son Harry looks 
just like him! But even though this grudge is foolish it isn't enough 
to forget the fact that James was so cruel to him. Who doesn't love 
paybacks........now, who's bullying who? Snape feels some sort of 
comfort in bullying Harry.

9.Why the hell would you send an idiot like Quirrell to do such a 
half ass job when not only is Snape helping to protect the stone but 
in reach of it! Don't you think it would've been easier for Voldemort 
to use Snape instead of Quirrell???

8. A simple little diary isn't necessary to create such havoc. 
Couldn't Voldemort have told Snape to release the damn monstrosity of 
serpent?

7. Who the hell wants to pay off a life/death debt. When Harry was 
clinging for dear life during the Quidditch match. Why not let him 
fall off and die. But no....Snape had to save Harry. Snape couldv'e 
received a gran reward for that one...and in front of an audience and 
all. 

6. Do friends of enemies count as enemies also? Snape had Lupin in 
the palm of his hand all the time but Snape opted for the noble 
action of brewing his wolf drink every full moon. Do you think those 
poor kids would've survived having a werewolf lurking around the 
forest every full moon? And then come back to normality as a tired 
teacher. 


5. Snape comes across the Marauder's Map upon entering Lupin's room 
and runs after to see what is going on. He could have confiscated the 
map and the invisible cloak that was left just outside the whomping 
willow but he does nothing with both. Yet the advises both Harry and 
Ron that they are out of bounds in the company of a convicted muderer 
and a werewolf. If was truly evil he would've hid the map and cloak 
and used it to his advantage.

4. Not only isn't Karkaroff present when the death eaters reunite 
with the reborn again Voldemort but Snape's missing too. If he was 
evil he would've been present. What else does Voldemort want? He had 
what he planned to do....he had Harry in the palm of his hand. 
Wouldn't that be enough for Snape to leave Hogwarts and re-enter 
Voldemorts service?  


3. Snape gives Barty Crouch Jr. veritaserum.........therefore 
exposing thy enemy and sending him off to Azkaban for the second 
time. What about giving him fake serum like he did with Potter when 
Umbridge was around?

2. Bellatrix doesn't trust Snape and if there's anyone more coniving 
it might as well be a woman. He had to make that unbreakable vow in 
order for her not to suspect anything.

1. Occlumency, why teach the enemy the art of shutting out external 
penetration of the mind? Why not let Voldemort know that Harry can 
see what Voldemort is sensing and feeling. He could've damaged Harry 
for good had he let Voldemort know. Remember at the end of the sixth 
book when Snape warns Harry while trying to block Harry's 
attempts..."Blocked again and again and again until you learn to keep 
your mouth shut and you mind closed Potter! " Snape had Harry on the 
ground and Dumbledore dead. He could have taken Harry and delivered 
Harry himself to Voldemort but instead he left him there. 


If you agree or not this is my list. I see Snape as disliking Harry 
but only because of the grudge he has with James. Snape always said 
he hated to be called a coward. James only picked on Severus when he 
had his friends around. I doubt Snape is on Voldemorts side. He has 
had sooo many chances to deliver him to the "Dark Lord" but never has 
done it.
