  Not 
that I think Snape will turn out to be a big fluffy bunny in the end 
but I doubt he's just a 
walking "mean teacher" cliche either.  There's too much tragedy in 
him.  And I think JKR is much more character oriented than she's 
given credit for.  <SNIP>

  I'm really quite certain if my reply is appropriate for this topic and if I've snipped correctly. 
  But anyhow, I just want to say that, I read on some of JKR's interviews and  she answered on one of the questions tossed to her that Snape's going to have some redemptive pattern in book 7. I guess that  redemptive pattern conconcerns his action in book6(killing DD). So maybe he's really going to help Harry in book 7 wether Harry like it or not. Just my opinion. Any thoughts?
