...who agrees with vmonte that people don't like unpalatable
truths and who expects a roar of outrage from the Snape haters
when Snape is revealed as DDM.

<vmonte>
If Snape turns out to be Dumbledore's man I will be shocked, but I
 will not be angry.

I just wish he wasn't such an ass.

I won't be shocked, or angry, as I think the text supports both
readings at this point. I will, however, be deeply disappointed.

Talk about wasting a "gift of a character." If he's evil then he's
managed to pull the wool over Dumbledore's eyes for lo, these many
years. And as Dumbledore has always been set up as the cleverest,
hardest-to-fool wizard known to all of wizardkind then it'd be very
interesting to see all of his assumptions proved wrong in the end -
especially if Harry knew better than his mentor did on this one thing.

But if he's good? Bleh, how very, *very* trite and overdone. Snape can
be added to the 32489304832 other fannish characters who once were
bad, now are good, and have very poor attitudes. See, as for example,
Methos, Spike, Vila, etc., etc., etc..

Only without the snarky one-liners.

Bah.
