Ah you sparked me, Carol. I was totally taken aback by JKR's less-
glowing assessment of Snape whom so many idolize and love. And from 
your post, you too seemed to have gathered that she is much more 
situationally positioned in her ethics than previously realized. Snape 
was only a hero because of his great love of Lily. Had Harry been the 
son of another witch, he wouldn't have protected him. Ah. I feel 
somewhat disoriented now. Love as a bond is so subjective. It's almost 
as if she feels that the subjective quality of love can be the antidote 
for things such as "the greater good." 
Jen D. hoping at some point that Book 7 clears up more than it 
obscures...
