Debbie:
And that's why I have settled on what Jen calls Grey!Snape.  In my book,
DDM!Snape doesn't account for Snape's volatility, his passion, his anger.
Even though I believe Snape and Dumbledore had a plan and that Snape was
merely executing the plan when he killed Dumbledore, he's seething with
anger at how things have played out, and his soul is hanging in the
balance.  He's got more choices to make, and we can't be sure he'll make the
ones Dumbledore would have wanted him to make.

Sarah:
I guess I'm not seeing the difference between that and OFH.  Any Snape
that would help Dumbledore's side for unselfish reasons wouldn't give
serious consideration to really being on Voldemort's side, and vice
versa.  I still think if his motives don't get completely cleared up,
then book seven isn't done yet.  It just doesn't seem likely to me
that we'll get to see Snape's epic internal battle for good vs. evil,
since the story is told from Harry's point of view.  So the shortest
road is OFH.
