That's very possible, but if that's the truth, I don't
understand Rowling's game at all. If she wanted Snape
to be ambigous, and his treason in book 6 to be
surprising, then she didn't do such a great job, did
she?
Certainly Harry (together with the majority of the
readers) had never expected from Snape any better.
Surely she didn't wrote the whatever ambiguity is
there just to surprise the small number of
Snapeophiles among us? :-)
