I Believed right from the Beginning that Snape was going to be a Nasty
actor, then knew it by the time I read the second Book "The Secret Chamber".
So I wasn't surprised by time I read "The Halfblood Prince" 
He would go back to Voldemort. Harry Knew all along but could not get anyone
to listen to him. Not even his closest friends, or Dumbledore.

When did you all figure out when Snape was Bad?



Sherry now:
Actually, you'll discover that most people on this list still don't believe
Snape is bad.  For me, I believed that he was a mean, rotten, cruel and
sadistic bastard, but essentially on the good side, right up till he
murdered Dumbledore.  I hated his guts, but I believed that for whatever
reason, he was against Voldemort and was working for Dumbledore to bring
down Voldemort.  However, that all ended when he took out his wand and
blasted Dumbledore off the tower.  I don't know if I think he supports
Voldemort or was just being a coward and saving his own skin, in true
Slytherin style.  
After all, Phineas Nigelus said that a Slytherin would save his own skin
first.  But again, for whatever reason, I believe he murdered Dumbledore in
cold blood. No excuse, no redemption scene will ever minimize or justify
that for me.  Only if it turns out that Dumbledore died of something else
and Snape was just masking that death and pretended to use the killing
curse.  But I don't expect that to happen.  If the story ends up that DD was
dying or died from the potion in the cave, the potion that Harry forced him
to drink, and Snape faked the AK to cover that up, I'll want to throw up.
That would make Snape too heroic for me, and I'd be borrowing lupinlore's
wood chipper to destroy my audio and braille books.  LOL.  I was truly
shocked during the tower scene, because, as I said, I hated Snape but
believed he would save DD and prove his loyalty.  Nothing can ever redeem
him now for me.
