Alla, who always ready to sacrifice Snape, but for whom Living Snape
but suffering forever Snape would be more satisfying conclusion :)

Sarah:
I propose a compromise.  He suffers forever as a ghost.  He wouldn't
want to go behind the veil with the Marauders would he?

But seriously, I think you've just nailed down the reason I have
always reckoned Harry for a goner.  I *don't* want him to suffer, and
I think the odds are in favor of him being sort of a hot mess by the
time this thing is over.

My first thought was that the Hallows are benevolent dead people, and
the "Deathly" is just there because they look, well, dead.  I didn't
like the Hallows-as-relics/Horcruxes at first, because the
implications of the word "Hallows" seem too positive to refer to
Horcruxes even with a "Deathly" slapped on the front of it.  I'm
warming up to this quick, though.  The Cup/Sword/Stone/Pole thing is
just too convenient.
