If you guys have not seen it yet, there are three new essays about 
Snape on Lexicon. Well, relatively new. They were posted on December 
29, 2005, I think.

Two of them are about Good!Snape ( why Snape changed allegiance and 
why he killed Dumbledore)

and one about Evil!Snape

Now, of course I like the one about Evil!Snape the most, but NOT just 
because I like Evil!Snape the most. ( Although of course I DO like 
Evil Snape - not really believe that completely Evil!Snape will 
reemerge at the end, but would love to)

It is just I have not found any new arguments in the first two - one 
basically argues that Snape loved Lily and that is why changed 
allegiance to Good ( in essense, IMO)

and another basically argues that Dumbledore asked Snape to kill him 
because of UV and that Snape would be more valuable alive. 

Basically I did not see anything that we did not discuss here.

The one about Evil!Snape though while also has a lot of what we 
discuss, has (IMO at least) some new arguments or at least 
subarguments.

Like when she argues that possible loophole in the UV and Snape not 
taking advantage of it may point to Evil!Snape.

There is another interesting point, but I am not sure she is 
necessarily correct here.

Did Snape indeed see Peter on the Map? Because if he did, his 
behaviour in the Shack indeed goes from insane to malicious to me. IMO 
of course.

In any event, IMO this essay also makes a lot of conclusions which 
could be argued against, but overall I liked it a lot.

JMO,
