Alla:

Sorry my dear. I do hope you know that while I indeed was happy ( one 
cannot help how one feels right?) that this character was dead, at 
the same time I most certainly sympathized with some Snape fans ( and 
you are most **definitely** among those people whom I felt sorry for)
knowing that people will be upset. And this is truth as well. I mean 
I was soooo upset when Sirius died, so why wouldn't I feel bad for 
some people who would mourn the death of one fictional character, 
since I know how it feels?

I remember talking to somebody offlist shortly before DH was out, we 
were again trying to guess if our favorite theories will come true or 
not and I was saying that even though I really really hope her 
predictions will not come true, I will feel bad for her and she was 
saying same thing.

But heeee, at the same time each of us was really hoping that other's 
predictions were wrong.

Also keep in mind that I read spoilers, lots of them before I even 
started the book, so I knew that Snape dies and how he does it before 
I started, therefore maybe if I read that scene for the first time 
without knowing what happen, maybe I would be at least a little bit 
upset, you know?

Alla:

Right and some people were happy that Harry does not have that 
reckless godfather anymore. Which is their absolute right to feel 
that way and be happy about it, etc.

Alla:

Dobby - cried, which was probably biggest surprise for me. 
Dumbledore - well, heeee, I think my first reaction was anger, a 
great deal of it.

I will try to remember more.
