Betsy Hp:
Oh, hell, Snape/*anybody* is hot.  Because Snape himself brings such 
a fire to the equation....  Um, yeah.  So, not just you.  <g>

Though I also think Snape is the sort to stick with the torch he 
chooses to carry.  There's something very old-fashioned, suffering 
poet or priest, about the man.  Once his heart is given, it's gone.

Betsy Hp:
To compound it, I'm betting James did not allow Snape to talk to 
Lily, who may have well listened to Snape.  (I wonder how Lily took 
to James's little gang?  I mean, I wonder if there were some egg-
shells James had to deal with and if he worried that she might take 
the advice of an old friend over his own take on his friends.  
They'd already decided, it seems, that Lupin was no good, so I 
wonder if there was a worry there.  Yeah, this is getting to be a 
long tangent, but I've got questions! <g>)

Betsy Hp:
Isn't she just?  Hopefully not mean enough to actually kill off the 
poor guy.  OR, maybe mean enough to make Snape live, gosh darn it.

The whole suicidal!Snape puts a different spin on Dumbledore's "my 
memory is as good as ever" comment.  What was he reminding Snape of 
right there?

Betsy Hp:
Ooh, I'll take some of that!  I went back and read your indepth post 
(message 141872), Sydney, and it makes sense.  Especially if Snape 
is the utterly romantic character JKR may have him turn out to be.  
He's a direct desendent of Bronte's Heathcliff, even down to the 
questionable blood.  But he's being denied his last run on the 
moors.  Gah.  I melt.
