Well, while I really can't believe that for the whole 5 books (and
even earlier) DD was wrong about Snape I have to say that there is
one, the most convincing for me, reason why we can't hope for good
Snape in book 7:
While reading HBP I was constantly wondering why on earth has it
been called Harry Potter and THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE?? I cound't see
how the true identity of HBP can have possible relevance to the
plot. When it turns out that Snape is HBP I still wasn't sure why
the whole book is called HBP - apart from the fact that we learn
that Snape used to call himself HBP when he was at school we dont
get any new information (we already know that he is very good at
potions and it's not a big kind of shock that he invents new spells
when we knew he was very good student!!)
Then I thought that if the book is called HBP and it turned out that
HBP is Snape we can safely assume that the title could be also Harry
Potter and Snape. And then it came to me! Of course! The sixth book
was meant to be called HP and Snape (not to be so obvious:HP and
HBP) and not 'HP and a strange guy who calls himself HBP which will
be very relevant'!!
It was always about Snape. The important thing about the 6th book
isn't the secret identity of HBP! It's not about who he is! It's all
about Snape. I dont know if i'm clear about it - what I want to say
is that while reading i was thinking that the identity of HBP will
turn out to be the most important at the end - wrong - the most
important was the man behind that nickname who was imortnat
throughout the whole book!!
Now, until the 6th book we were all (almost all :D) under the
impression that we have to trust Snape. All canon evidences were
point out that although Snape is mean and cruel he is on the good
side (DD trust him, he's spying for the Order, Harry's suspitions
always turned out to be wrong etc) And then comes 6th book with him
in the title and he turns out to be evil and kills DD! What would
be a point in naming the 6th book HP and HBP (HP and SNAPE) when the
biggest surprise within this book will turn out to be false in the
next book??
Again, I dont know if I make myself clear - Snape have to be evil
because if he wouldnt the whole book wouldnt be titled in this way!
If I, before reading that book, knew that the title is Harry Poter
and Snape I would expect something huge to be revealed about him.
And there is - he turns out to be evil! Think about it - the book
title tells us that something about Snape is importnat to the plot -
it just CANT turn out that the whole sixth book was a joke and Snape
isnt really evil!!!
Can't express it in the better way, sorry :D Hope you understand
what I mean
PS. I must say that even though I'm almost sure that Snape is evil
I cant still believe that DD could be so wrong about him!!! It just
doesnt make sense... There is a couple of things that bothers me:
1. Was DD really pleading for death? or anything connected with it?
maybe he has something else on his mind? He adresses Snape 'Severus'
the moment he enter the scene - and as Harry noted his voice has
changed... I really dont know what does it mean, anyone??
2. Why Snape have to be informed by FF that there are DE in the
castle? If he knew the plan (as he said in the 2nd chapter) he
should be aware? Why wasn't he patroling corridors like others?
3. If he told Narcissia and Bellatrix that he knew the plan why was
he pretending not to know about it anything while speaking with
Draco??
Julia, who loves the scene where Malfoy cries :D
