being "weak" was said as something of an afterthought. (And again, 
this brief mention was pointless to the plot of HBP, but there must be 
some reason JKR introduced the concept!)"


CH3ed:
I wonder if that comment isn't meant to show Snape's dismissive 
attitude toward love. You know, 'love is for the weak' stuff. That 
would possibly be a result of him having a bad experience with it in 
the past. 

CH3ed is off in persuit of that flighty temptress, a good sleep.  ;o) 
Good night all!
