"revelations"  made via the horrific acts in HBP. 

Valky:
Oh I don't know about that, those of us who argued vehemently that it
was not beyond Sevvie to have killed James in the pensieve scene (and
wore quite the worst of venom that Fandom's Pro-Snapers could summon
for it) are quite vindicated now. Little Severus was quite a demented
young character, capable of the invention of quite one of the worst
most horrifying curses we've ever seen and, it would seem, the use of
it on his childhood enemies. 

That said, I, Like Dumbledore ("Great man Dumbledore.." The Best,
believe wholly in second chances and forgiveness, and the jury is
still out on dear Sevvie right now, did he deserve his second chance?
Time will tell. 


AF.:
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!



Oh Indeed, I wholeheartedly agree with you. And might I add, that
while it may be for you that this confirmed your faith in his nobility
and bravery, for me it was the last peice of evidence that finally put
to rest the great debate in my mind about Snapes true alignment...
Snape is indeed a good man..

Settling down comfortably in the Snape camp and, despite the queer
stares from some opponents of days past, wraps her self tight and warm
in her new Pashmina.
