Aggie now:
I had never thought of things this way before and what you say makes 
absolute sense!  

I do hope that this is not the case tho as it implies that children, 
with their limited view on things, are right and adults, who see the 
bigger picture and can rationally assess all the facts, are wrong!  I 
DO agree that Harry IS the hero and that these ARE his books and if 
JKR had declared that these were children's books then I would agree, 
however they are not and whilst it is a lesson to believe in your own 
instincts I don't see that happening here.  JKR has made DD too big a 
character to be wrong about Snape, it just makes a mockery of him.  I 
realise that she has put the grain of doubt about his fallability but 
this would just be HUGE!!!  

I guess only time will tell!!
