Del:
You'll also notice that the *only* thing that redeems Snape is 
that he works for DD. He's written as a completely black 
character with a white lining, not as a truly grey character. <

Pippin:
He. Saved. Harry's. Life. I don't think that's in the job 
description for Potions Master, and if DD had dropped dead the day 
before, I think he still would have done it.  

It's true Snape doesn't seem to quite grasp what he's fighting for, 
but so what? I figure he prefers  Dumbledore's principles, even 
though he doesn't entirely understand them, to Voldemort's, which he 
understands all too well. 


Alla:

Pippin, I strongly disagree. Suppose that ANY student was in Harry's 
place AND Snape figured out what was going on? Are you suggesting 
that it is not  in teacher's job description to save the life of his 
students if he can do so and sometimes to try even if he cannot?

So, yes, he saved Harry's life but it is my belief that IT IS in his 
job's description just as in any Hogwarts' teacher job description.

JMO,
