Potioncat:
I've come to think that JKR considers Snape a traitor as well. It 
would explain the horrible death he received at her pen. Granted, LV 
doesn't know, but JKR does. 

Wormtail, Marietta and Snape all received pretty wicked punishment.

If I step way back, and look at DH without emotion, and consider the 
series based on all the books and on what interviews I've read---I 
can say "The author says she had this intention," and I can decide 
whether I think she made her case or not.

I don't think she made it for Marietta and I'm annoyed that the 
Malfoys escape anything like punishment, yet this girl is disfigured 
for life.

I also don't think JKR made the point for Harry being able to perform 
an Unforgivable but choosing not to later. If that was her intent 
(and there's a quote to that effect) I think she needed to show more 
of Harry's thoughts and feelings over it.

Just my opinion of course.
