NOPE, you are not the only one Tamara, like I said, all the stuff is 
just theory and ideas, None of us know where Snape's loyalty is 
really. JKR has also stated that Snape is a Horrible person, so, I 
don't see how she could be setting us up to all of a sudden turn him 
evil and trick us, cause, that generally would not be a trick would 
it if she outright says he is horrible, but their has also been a 
debate over if horrible means evil, or is he just a sarcastic mean 
teacher...does that actually mean evil...meh, I don't know. We 
really have not seen Snape outside of the School and Order setting 
to know exactly how he reacts in normal situations. We have no idea 
what his life is outside of Hogwarts, but, neither do we know what 
the other Teachers lives are outside of Hogwarts. But, obviously 
this thread is about Snape..so I suppose we should stick to the 
subject at hand.
Besides, We are just speculating on the use of the word daughter 
really, and why she would not say children.

I suppose I gave my opinion on Snape and should not have said he was 
loyal to DD as if it were fact and everyone knows it, since it is my 
opinion. I have considered Snape loyal to Dumbledore from what I've 
read in the books. I really didn't have an opinion on him for a long 
time, till I joined this group, and have sort of become a Snape 
defender.

Some of the things he has done just don't seem like they are helping 
Voldemort, but perhaps I have read the book wrong. I have also said 
that I though he might be loyal to himself and not really truly 
loyal to Dumbledore or Voldemort, and in a lot of ways, I consider 
this may very well be the case.
Snape's actions have been debated quite a lot in the yahoo group, 
and I suppose it just depends on how you look at it and how you 
might see a situation, that will be what forms your opinion on the 
character of Snape.
I suspect there are just as many haters of Snape as their are 
supporters. I find myself with many questions, just like everyone 
else. If Snape is Horrible why is he? Do we ask why Voldemort is 
evil? Do we as why Draco is a little crappy you know what? of 
course, but it might not seem quite as often as we see Snape 
questioned of his goodness or badness.

Most rational people want to find a logical reason for a character 
being horrible. Likewise I suppose we want to find a logical reason 
why Snape would be loyal to Dumbledore, why he dislikes kids but is 
a teacher, why why why.
I think that a child (Snape Child) Is a very good theory as to why 
Snape might be loyal to dumbledore. Dumbledore has defended Snape a 
lot in the books, trying to make Harry give him respect by saying 
Professor. Explaining in a pensive scene to the court that Snape is 
no more a death eater than he is.
It seems easy to say, Dumbledore is being kind, he is just a nice 
old man that is mistaken in Snape, and that DD can make mistakes. I 
will be the first to say, yes, DD can make mistakes. But, for now I 
will have to consider Snape loyal till JKR snatches off my rose 
colored glasses.


Sooo,much like Star Wars, Our Question is; will Snape choose the 
Dark Side or the Light....and JKR said we were watching to much 
StarWars...baaaa...if she knocks off Snape or Dumbledore in the next 
book..I'm crying fowl to that statment..it will be like when Darth 
Vader killed OB1...anywayz.
