I know I'm waaaay over my post count, but this isn't really a new post! 
I'm not responding to anyone on the list, or starting a new topic for
discussion.

I merely want to post a link
<http://www.intergalacticmedicineshow.com/cgi-bin/mag.cgi?do=issue&vol=i\
5&article=_card-essay>  .  Pretty please?

The link is to Orson Scott Card's article, "Who is Snape?" from this
month's Intergalactic Medicine Show.

It is the best, most comprehensive discussion of Snape as a character I
have ever seen, and spans the first six books.  He uses his novelist's
perspective to predict the outcome of DH (like us, he's right about
Snape), but more importantly he discusses why it had to be that way.

Just incredible.  Puts all of us here to shame.
