Snape's reasons

First, let me say that I loved this book, I think it's her best eve and it is 
now my favorite.

I saw the big climax coming in Chapter Two, when Snape made that vow. I'm 
still not sure if he's ESE! or just playing a double hand, but what I do see is a 
setup. Snape was sc...er...set up by Narcissa. Big time. he saw it too. So, 
why did he fall for it? Why did he take that Vow? Well, I have a theory...

This whole book was about love, in all it's forms, from the ships to the 
snoggin to the love potions to the wedding plans to Voldie's inability to love to 
Voldie's mom dying for lack of it and Harry's mom dying for it. All about 
wearing your heart on your sleeve. isn't this a comment we've heard before? During 
the occulamency lessons?

Snape...wasn't JKR's comment who would love Snape? Not who could Snape love, 
just who could love Snape. The Snape/Lily ship sailed on that. But I suspect 
that was wrong. Snape has always looked out for Draco, cared for him, protected 
him. Why? Lucius's friendship? Possibly. But how much more bangy if Snape was 
looking out for the only child of the love of his life? Narcissa? Who came to 
him as the only one who WOULD help her...because she knew he still loved her. 


Sigh...I have to get ready for work, I'll expand on this more tomorrow, I 
think this is my third post today.
