saying how WONDERFUL Snape really is -

how truly misunderstood he is -

how pure of heart he is -

how he would NEVER hurt a non-airborne fly! ----

despite all evidence in the books to the contrary

despite the duplicity

despite his aiding and abetting a more competent
and lethal squad of death eaters entering Hogwarts -
especially that loveable ol'Fennir Greyback who would
like nothing more than to crunch and munch as many
students as he possibly could..... {why, i'm just FEELIN'
the luv for poor old misunderstood Sevvy for THAT ...}

despite AKing Dumbledore (for whatever reason - and
please don't talk about assisted suicide without a
foot of parchment of proof for that theory indicating
how the wizarding community is best served with DD gone)

despite his willingness to have the dementors suck
out the souls of Lupin and Sirius without listening
to their pleas

despite never showing the slightest inkling to act
with fairness or patience for anyone but DD or
Slytherin House Students ....

vmonte:
Thank you for making my day. I agree completely! Here is a man that 
belonged to the most foul gang in creation. A man that probably 
killed and/or enjoyed torturing people. A man that "still" enjoys 
humiliating and putting down people, especially people that are 
weaker than he is--IMO a true sign of a bully and coward. 

Why is it ok that Snape never paid for his crimes, and that Sirius, 
an innocent man, go to jail for no reason?

I keep thinking about Snape's Worst Memory when Snaped yelled out to 
James: 'Just wait, just you wait Potter, you'll be sorry!' (Not exact 
quote I cannot find my book.)

I suppose people will say he really didn't mean this either...
