Biff:
I've been reading this exchange and wanted to jump in with my fisrt
post on this board, if I may.
I think for me, Snape's fate should be determined based upon his
actions directly with Harry, not on his behalf or behind the scenes,
where we only have second hand knowledge. We don't know for sure the
extent of Snape's spying- he could have been playing both ends
against the middle, so to speak, and supplied information to both
Voldemort and Dumbledore for personal gain. Because we don't know
Snape's motivations, I don't think we can know for sure what he was
really doing and why.
I would love a scene between Harry and Snape where Harry confronts
Snape and repeats the accusation he yelled to Dumbledore- that Snape
sold out Harry's parents. Snape's reaction to the accusation will be
very telling for me personally.
I tend to be very loyal to Harry and want his suspicions of Snape to
be proven correct, but at the same time, part of me wants Snape to
show his true colors in the end and die whispering an apology to
Harry.
