Oh, yes, crow eating obviously. YUM. Crow number one is obviously DDM Snape.
No, I was not **shocked**, the fact that I always kept in mind that
possibility that I did not want to come true and did not think will come
true, may come true nevertheless helped a lot 


Sherry:

I have a new Snape acronym, because, at least from my reading of the book,
DDM doesn't exactly fit.  I would say, Snape was 

LPM

lily Potter's Man!

Or if people think he wouldn't like her married name, LEM Snape will do.



Alla:
But of course I was wrong that the plan to kill Dumbledore did not exist. Oh
well.


Sherry:
I'm still very uncomfortable with the idea of the plan, highly displeased
with the Puppet master Dumbledore and Snape for following along.  I ended up
having more respect for Snape with his comments about Harry being a pig to
the slaughter, not because it meant Snape really cared one way or the other
about Harry, but because someone stood up to Dumbledore, for a few minutes
anyway.  The Plan does redeem Snape or Dumbledore for me, though I did find
Snape's death truly horrible and nearly had to go throw up at how gruesome
it was and Voldemort's cold indifference.  However, I would not consider
Snape to be the bravest man I ever knew, as obsessive love, revenge on
Voldemort seemed to be Snape's motives, not a true change of heart about
Voldemort's actions.  I didn't mind the epilogue except that Harry named his
son for the two men who did most to screw up his life!
