I've personally always detested Snape. He makes my skin crawl! He's 
so mean to Harry all through the books. He seems to condone cruelty 
to others - especially if it's done by Draco and done to one of the 
Trio. Of course the HUGE thing is killing Dumbledore!!

It's not just that Snape actually killed Dumbledore, it's the look 
on his face that JKR describes just before he did it - of revulsion 
and hatred. It's the comments he makes to Harry about Lily being 
a 'Mudblood'. It's all kinds of things throughout all the books.

However, there IS a little voice inside my head that is saying that 
Snape will redeem himself in the last book somehow. I don't know why 
I feel that way. I can't stand Snape. But yet it is there, 
whispering.

I've wondered about the Foe Glass thing myself. Why would Snape show 
up in them if he was truly on Voldemort's side? But, everyone keeps 
pointing out(people here in the posts and the characters in the 
books themselves) how proficient Snape is as an Occlumens. Maybe he 
COULD fool the mirrors, if he was powerful enough.

I'm hoping (why oh why?) that Snape will redeem himself. He has done 
so much evil. I'm hoping he will somehow make atonement for his 
sins. Personally I think that it is the debt that Snape owes James 
(since James did save Snape's life) that will have Snape save 
Harry's life. 

Wormtail also owes Harry his life, so maybe these two Death Eaters 
will work together to save Harry from Voldemort.

Who knows how the great mind of JKR works! We'll just have to wait - 
on pins and needles - for the 7th book to be released to find out 
what happens.

Jenni from Alabama (who still thinks that JKR is out of her mind to 
think she can tie up all the loose ends in 1 final book, but here's 
hoping!)
