colebiancardi:

I have the feeling you will be sorely disappointed in book 7, if that
is your viewpoint, if Snape is DDM.  Moronic characters?  I don't
think so.  If you read anything in the spy genre, those double agents
do the same things as Snape(even worse things, quite frankly) and they
are not moronic characters, but deeply conflicted characters.    I
doubt many people will "howl" with laughter if Snape turns out to be
DDM, even if they are currently in the ESE!Snape or OFH!Snape camp.

(who can live with ESE!Snape if that is the way JKR writes it, but has
the feeling, based on JKR's comments about book 6 & 7 should be read
as one novel, not two, that Snape is forever DDM)
