A lot of people seem to have that sentiment, that somehow Snape 
being revealed to be a bad guy makes him less interesting than him 
as a good guy. Frankly I think it makes Snape more interesting. 
Think about what that means. It means that for fifteen years he was 
able to pull to wool over the eyes of albus Dumbledore, the man who 
saw right through Tom Riddle. That makes him a very interesting 
villain. To me at least.
