Alla:

Where was she **graphic** in describing suffering? At the top of my 
head, I can only qualify Harry in Graveyard, more or less. IMO of 
course.

Now, I agree that she is **good** in dropping hints and showing 
details that make us sympathise with good guys suffering, that is 
true.

Sirius hunted eyes for example, Lupin's appearance, etc.

But I am not sure what does the sentence **If JKR wants to torture 
Snape on screen, she better make him one of good guys** means.

Do you mean she cannot torture bad guys or do you mean something else?

After all she specifically said that Umbridge is around because it is 
fun to torture her, no?

And I doubt that anybody would call her a good guy.

JMO.

Alla,

hoping that maybe Snape will be tortured for the same reasons as 
Umbridge.
