Magpie:
Not to say that Snape has murdered anybody, but I think he could 
still be concerned for his soul if it had been torn before. It's not 
just the first murder that tears it. Presumably every murder tears 
it. If he had killed somebody and it was painful that might give him 
more reason to not want it to happen again.

Which makes me wonder if you can do anything to make it whole again 
or at least heal it. Does it affect your experience in the afterlife 
if it's torn once, twice or a number of times? Can you fix that 
through remorse?
