The interesting thing for me is that many people here
argue that even if in book 6 he was acting upon some
plan of Dumbledore, he is still evil beyond redemption
and forgiveness, because he'd delivered Potters to
Voldemort.
That's the point I'd like to discuss, and that's the
point which has a possible parallel in "Chronicles of
Narnia". In there, Edmund delivers his own sisters and
brother to the White Witch. Who wants to kill them
because of a prophecy saying they can defeat her.
Not some anonymous people, not his childhood enemy,
his own brother and sisters.
If we judge him by the same moral law people here seem
to judge Snape, then Aslan should've killed the little
bastard on the spot, never mind dying for him.

Sherry now:

I see a huge difference between Edwin and Snape.  mainly a huge difference
of age.  Edwin was a child, far younger than Harry in HBP.  Snape is an
adult, in his 30's somewhere.  No, i don't equate the two things.  And
Edwin's siblings didn't die.
