Kamil responded:
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.


vmonte again:
I agree with you. I think it would be a lot more interesting if in 
the end Snape and Harry had to fight each other. I've never been 
interested in Voldemort was a character. He is such a cartoon-
like/moustache twirling kind of villian that I just can't get into 
him at all. Snape, whether he is ESE or DD's man, is very cool (in a 
dirty hair/dirty underwear kind of way).

One thing that really bothers me is the idea of people blindly 
following a leader, without ever questioning or thinking on their 
own. How many characters told Harry that they trust Snape because 
Dumbledore said so. What the hell is that?
