Charles:

EEP! Whoop! Yes! "Power the Dark Lord knows not." Voldemort of the
cold calculating intellect vs. Harry the blundering sentimentalist in
the final battle! This of course means that Harry will have to learn
how to control himself. As much as I hate to admit it, this line of
thinking would bode well for a DDM!Snaper. While Snape has the wrong
end of the stick (-it isn't that Harry needs to shut off his emotions,
he needs to learn to control and channel them-), he's at least got a
hold of the right stick. If (big if, in my ESE!Snape mind) Snape is
DDM, then what I think we will see him eventually getting across to
Harry is not the mental control of occlumency, but the emotional
control that he himself struggles with. We may see Snape learning a
lesson or three himself.

Charles, who thinks Snape is ESE, or at least OFH, but grudgingly now
admitting the DDM possibility.
