Let's get something out of the way - I want to restate again, Snape 
is responsible for his own stupidity, we agree on that.

But I take a big exception to the statement "people that did not 
make Snape do anything he did not want to do himself".


Unless we learn additional information about that night, and I know 
we will learn the information, I just wish I could know what kind, I 
see no canon to support the statement that Snape wanted to be bitten 
or killed by werewolf.


So, no I disagree that Marauders did not make Snape to do anything 
that he did not want to do himself. He may have wanted to find out 
their secret and I do not think he had any right to that secret 
whatsoever, but I sincerely doubt that he wanted to die.


Oy, am I defending the character whom I hope to see suffer so very 
badly, whom I think of as child abuser, traitor and murderer?

Yeah, I guess I am.

JMO,
