Excerpt from 'The Connection (WBUR Radio)' transcript, 12 Oct 1999.

Lydon: Er - one of our connec- ... one of our internet correspondents 
wondered if Snape is going to fall in love?

JKR: Yeah? Who on earth would want Snape in love with them, that is a 
very horrible idea. Erm ...

Lydon: But you'd get an important kind of redemptive pattern to Snape

JKR: It is, isn't it ... I got ... There's so much I wish I could say 
to you, and I can't because it'd ruin ... I promise you ... whoever 
asked that question, can I just say to you that I'm - I'm slightly 
stunned that you've said that - erm - and you'll find out why I'm so 
stunned if you read book 7. And that's all I'm going to say. 


So JKR has admitted that there is an association between Snape & Love 
in book 7. From a narrative point of view, it would seem very 
unlikely that JKR would make this a negative interaction. IMO, this 
indicates that Snape makes some kind of positive impact on the 
outcome of book 7.
