[HPforGrownups] Closure for Harry & Snape

[Cat]

No: HPFGUIDX 174461

Hi,

I'm new to the group, so I'm not sure if this has been
discussed previously. But I felt somewhat unsatisfied
with the closure or lack of closure between Harry and
Snape. I think there should have been a scene where
either Harry or Snape or both apologized to the other,
or perhaps JKR could have had a scene where they
showed mutual respect for each other.

For instance, when Harry goes into Dumbledore's office
with Snape's memories and uses the pensive, I don't
understand why she didn't mention Snape's portrait.
When Dumbledore died it seemed that his picture
immediately appeared in the office. Snape's should
have been there too since he was the headmaster. Harry
could have perhaps had a conversation with him (in his
portrait) after he'd seen all of Snape's memories.

For me, personally, this would have been more
satisfying than just leaving it hanging there with no
closure. I sort of feel cheated.

Does anyone else feel this way?

Thanks for you input.
