>>Alla:
>Not everyone agrees with the fact that Snape is a horrible guy. 
Otherwise our Snape bashing and  Snape defending sessions would have 
died out  pretty fast. :o)<

Betsy:
I think the argument is a matter of degree.  A sort of how horrible 
is horrible.  For example you say:

>>Alla:
>And even if I forget my doubts whether Snape now really thinks that 
murdering people is a bad thing, I would still think  that those who 
abuse children for their pleasure are not "moral" people.<

Betsy:
And I say, I really don't think Snape *abuses* children.  Being 
snarky and scary and demanding though horrible is *not* abuse.  At 
least in my book.  But I know we disagree on this -- and probably 
always will. :)  But it does make for some interesting discussions, 
and I do wonder if by the end of the series one of the "sides" will 
have to come around.  Who knows, this debate may go on *forever*!! :D
