Montavilla47:

I agree with your post entirely, including the tiny bit of 
reservation.  And, reading this last bit reminded me of 
something.

We keep focusing on Snape not asking Dumbledore to 
protect James and Harry as if that's remarkable.  It's really
not.  How many people would seek out the general of an
opposing army to save someone they disliked or felt 
indifferent about?

What is remarkable about Snape's actions is that he
for anybody at all to be spared.
