Alla:
Nora you are doing such an amazing job. ( and Betsy too, of 
course):o) I only have one very brief comment - not only Snape is 
the sympathetic one in terms of THAT conflict, but reader does not 
really DOUBT Snape any more. I mean, Harry is wrong every book, so 
how many of us do really believe his doubts about Snape any more?<
 
Betsy:
Quite a few judging by reactions in this group to any friendly views 
of Snape.  No, JKR has done a fantastic job keeping Snape ambiguous 
so only she really knows how he'll come out in the end. 


Alla:


What I meant is how many of us really believe that Snape will go 
back to being full blown DE, not whether Snape can be considered an 
evil person,who is at the same time loyal to Dumbledore,

Even I used not to believe in ESE!Snape at all, and even now I don't 
believe in it on my best days  ;o) On my worst days I remember Harry 
being weakened during Occlumency lessons and start to have them 
again.

JMO,
