Hickengruendler:


But Voldemort did agree to spare Lily. "Step aside you silly girl." 
Snape went to Dumbledore nonetheless, probably because he didn't 
trust Voldemort (understandably so). So, yes, in the beginning 
Snape's motivations were entirely selfish. There's just that one 
Muggleborn, he always made an exception for, and he did this time as 
well. Sure it is disgusting, how less he cared about Harry (or for 
that matter, the Longbottom family). But it did grow into more, over 
the years. And since you weren't the only one, who read the epilogue 
first, (I did as well *g*), I have to say, that I felt incredibily 
sorry for him in the first chapter, where the Muggle studies teacher 
got killed.

His deaths cene I found very good, really. Mostly because it wasn't 
the big sacrific emost people seem to have expected.

And quite aside from Snape, and because I don't want to waste too 
many posts for today, I have to say that I loved Neville. My 
goodness, wa she awesome.
