>Well, Besty, It's very thin... for that reason I like it. The fact 
that it doesn't mess itself with unseriated outcries of James' & 
Sirius' intentions and blame means I am naturally inclined to *not* 
shoot canonballs at it. ;D <

Betsy:
Hee!  Yeah, I recognize there's not really anything to back it up - 
so I'm not going to go to the wall on it or anything.  It's more a 
sense of structural story-telling arch that it would be cool for the 
three memories in the pensieve to be, 1. Snape decideds to join the 
Death Eaters, 2. Snape does and/or witnesses something that turns him 
off the Death Eaters 3. Snape decideds to join the Order.

Though I like the idea that Snape's "you wait" has a deeper threat 
than simple school-boy revenge behind it.  We shall see. :)

>>Valky:
>Although it's only thinly possible,IMHO I do agree fairly much with 
the shade of Snape's greyness in it. However, I really hope it 
doesn't become the full story in canon, mainly because of the 
inability of it to clear up anything about the black streak in James. 
I am kind of hoping, since my own ship is sailing in that cove, that 
the final insight into Snape *will* be part of the balancing into 
whole colour the greyness of James.<

Betsy:
I myself am hopeful that the Prank will do a lot to (dare I say it?) 
*redeem* James.  But than I kinda like the black.  I like my hero's 
with a bit of shadow in them.  (I kinda liked Harry beating the crap 
out of Draco too.  I'm weird like that.)
