AF here: Oh dear.  IMO, it appears that a major  point has been missed, if not an entire promontory,   While I rejoice for any new found affection for Snape,  there is no cause to gloat over  "revelations"  made via the horrific acts in HBP.  The thinking that Snape's evil nature has finally been proved seems to carry the day on the sites by and  devoted to young readers, but for those of us a bit longer in the tooth, I believe  JKR's multi-facted characterizations show us that this is a very complex, adult series. Snape's acts -rather than illustrating his amorality - show instead his nobility, loyalty and bravery.   I'll eat my words - and change my opion of this fantastic man - only after reading book 7!
