Alla:

The original argument if I understood it correctly was that there 
could be only ONE evil in the story and that is Voldemort. I am not 
sure why this necessarily could be true.

Okay, Snape would not be as evil as Voldemort, but he could still be 
Evil, just second in command, for example. No?

Does it make sense? I am just not getting why Snape cannot be evil if 
Harry has to battle Voldemort at the end? I also don't understand how 
do you know that Harry will not have to battle Snape BEFORE or after 
he battles Voldemort?

The way I see it even if Snape is lesser evil, he still has to be 
dealt with.

Alla:

Of course it does not necessarily mean that, I am just arguing that 
this is a possibility, that is all.

Alla:

Huh? You are calling witnessing the murder of Dumbledore and desire 
to get Snape because of that a "teenage grudge"?

I would like to register a strong disagreement with this argument, if 
I did not misunderstand you.

JMO,
