Alla:

I may be wrong, but I do not think Mike meant *justice* of the curse. 
Of course curse can carry no justice, LOL. It is called a curse for a 
reason after all IMO.

I think Mike just meant a general justice being carried out towards 
Snape dear, and as you know I also think that Snape did not 
experience any sort of justice yet. Hopefully he will.

He delivers prophecy to Voldemort and two young people die and one 
boy remains an orphan – does he get punished for that? Not as far as 
I know. On the contrary, he comes back to Dumbledore and supposedly 
tells him how **sorry** he was  and instead of Azkaban he gets a nice 
job as Hogwarts professor – food, shelter, protection and all that.

Snape treats Harry like crap and what does he get for that? Um, 
nothing as far as I know.

Of course I am talking about my opinions as I see Snape  – if you do 
not share my opinion that  he treats Harry like crap, obviously he 
does not  need any punishment.


He takes it upon himself to expose Lupin, contrary to what Dumbledore 
told him to. I could care less about what Lupin was supposed to do 
himself, I just do not buy that it was upon Snape to expose him.

Does Snape gets anything for that? Well, as I mentioned before, 
maybe, just maybe him being on the run and paria of WW at least for a 
while, maybe he will remember Lupin once in a while and consider it 
some sort of karma. 

And he kills his mentor, somebody who saved his sorry ass from 
Azkaban. Again, of course I am proceeding on the assumption that it 
was murder, not anything else – if it was not, different story.

If it was murder, I want Snape pay for it, I really really want it.

I know that by all literary laws, Harry will forgive Snape at the 
end, but boy or boy, do I want to see some real carmic justice being 
served to this character.

Just a page, a few sentences? Please JKR, let me see Snape powerless, 
humiliated, suffering, pretty please  and then let Harry be the 
better man again and forgive Snape.
