zgirnius:
Yes, YES! I've written posts before about what Snape knew and did 
when, why he took the UV, and so on. But THIS is why I simply can't 
believe he's ESE.

zgirnius:
I have always felt it was even more than anger. The comparison to 
Fang in Hagrid's burning cottage suggests there is a great deal of 
emotional distress over wht he has done, as well. (As we might 
imagine Harry would feel, if it had turned out that the potion in the 
Cave killed Dumbledore).
