After reading that section I did come upon this horrible feeling of dread.  
There is one thing that gives me hope though, she did not outright say Snape is 
 evil. So I shall hang on that tiny glimmer of hope, as ridiculous as it 
seems.  Either way if Snape is evil I'll still love that man, his intelligence, 
his  wit, his power, and his courage are to be admired.
