Adam:

I probably should have broken that post up better, as I can see it 
reads not as intended.  I meant to say that I agree with SSSusan and 
don't think Snape is a "hero" or "heroic".  I think his last 
words "Look at me" were so he could see Lily's eyes as he died, 
showing (at least to me) that his overriding motivation was still 
Lily.  End of point.  Then, an additional point was that I thought 
Snape was good, but flawed.  I didn't mean to imply that a flawed 
person can't be a hero.  As much as I like him, I don't think Snape 
fits the bill for hero, but it was most definately NOT because he was 
flawed...if that were the case, there would be no heroes.  I hope 
that made sense :0)
