Alla:

Snipped rather liberally, but I believe the point I am replying to is 
here. My assesment of Sectusemptra as Dark has nothing to do with 
Snape indentifying it as such, definitely not. Therefore I think 
Snape's identifying of Map as dark is irrelevant for all intents and 
purposes. It is of course only my opinion, but I of course disregard 
his evaluation of Map as dark and identify Sectusemptra as dark 
because Malfoy could have bled to death. It **feels** dark to me and 
has nothing to do with Snape's assesment of that curse. I mean I of 
course believe that he is right, LOL, but I would have identified it 
as dark even if he said nothing on the matter.

JMO,
