Alla:

Sure, it is a possibility. There is also another possibility - Snape
is not saying anything to Harry, because he is **not** sorry about
his parents death at all IMO.

Alla:

Well, sure, we do not know what DD did, but we know one thing - DD
did not sent him to Azkaban and DD did let him teach in Hogwarts, no?

Does not look that he was too hard on him to me. Again IMO.

Alla:

Um, I think Snape saying *Avada Kedavra* to the person who trusted
him so much is a rather big point against Dumbledore's trust being
well placed. IMO of course.

As to whether Snape set to destroy the Potters. As canon stands right
now - I do not know that, although I won't be surprised if we will
learn that Snape did know that Lily got pregnant before he delivered
Prophecy, maybe same day or something.

But again - this is my speculation, nothing more. What I see as
canon supported fact is that Snape sold *unnamed prophecy couple and
their baby* to his boss. That to me is a fact. Unless of course you
dig Dumbledore told Snape to do so speculation. Then to the list of
the characters I hate, I will add Dumbledore, that's all.

So, I do not **care** why Snape did that. All that I know that he
did, he as far as I am concerned in cold blood delivered two people
and their unborn babt to the monster. I absolutely find this
despicable.

Dumbledore says that Snape regretted it when he learned the couple
names? Maybe, as I said I want to hear it from Snape's mouth to
believe it.

Alla:

His home life was horrible? Again, maybe, maybe not IMO. We do not
know who the people in that memory were and I will not be surprised
if none of them was Snape.

His DE life was not fun and games? Okay. Am I supposed to feel sorry
for Snape choosing it then?

Me too, me too, that is how I feel as well.

Alla:

If faced with hard cold canon sure I will, LOL, but only then. And as 
I cheerfully promised on list, I will write a long apology to Severus 
Snape - the Saint of all Causes.
