Snow:

As you may have noticed I wrote separately from the original Rushdie 
comments about my theory on OFH Snape. It does however play nicely 
into the comments from JKR because she could honestly state that 
Rushdie was correct in his opinions. 

If Snape is good Dumbledore can't be dead is the quote in question. 
Directly after saying Rushdie's opinion is right JKR emphatically 
pronounces that Dumbledore is indeed dead. 

It appears to be the only part of Rushdie's statement that she needed 
to clear up; all else is a true scenario as seen by Rushdie with the 
one exception that Dumbledore is dead. This in your opinion 
automatically secures that Snape is `not good', why? I've never 
believed Snape to be good no matter which side of the fence he was 
on. You can still do good things if you are a bad person if it is in 
your best interest. This Is Snape. Snape has been anything but a good 
person; Faith will back me up on that. That does not mean that his 
objective is not the same as Dumbledore; they both want Voldemort to 
be evicted. The end product would be the same if Dumbledore and Snape 
need the same result, wouldn't it? So even if Snape still has lethal 
hatred for Harry and his colleagues but needs Voldemort to be 
vanquished for his own agenda, wouldn't he still follow the only plan 
that has a fat chance of succeeding?
