Okay, well there are two times in this book when I could almost pity Snape, almost. "Look at me" could have been one (if Snape would have acknowledged as I said in the past I was wrong Potter, you are not your father, as it is it is almost but not quite :)).

I will tell you about second time later on.

Besides that part nothing really jumped at me in Elder wand. No, I did not find Snape's death to be fun to reread, but when it was done, was still satisfied.

Hm, Prince memories, I really do not know whom I despised more in this chapter - Snape or Dumbledore, but they were close contenders for sure.

Why I despised Snape you already know, but also when I reread this chapter, I got even more convinced that Snape got his worldviews at this age already and that he was fully aware that muggleborns are considered second rate people in WW. It is just, I don't know, besides his hesitation when he responds to Lily, it is this quote :

"It's real for us," said Snape. "Not for her. But we'll get the letter, you and me"
"Really?" whispered Lily.
"Definitely," said Snape, and even  with his poorly cut hair and his odd clothes, he struck an oddly impressive  figure sprawled in front of her, brimful of confidence in his destiny"

Now before anybody says so, I know there is nothing in this quote that states it, it is just how to explain my inference? It is all together - Snape's hesitation, Snape's saying Petunia just a muggle and this, this just confirms what I thought of character - somebody who is super confident of himself and his views.

And Dumbledore? GRRRRRRRR.
"You gave me your word, Severus. And while we are talking about services you owe me, I thought you agreed to keep an eye on our young Slytherin friend?"

I mean, really Dumbledore? Really? After more than a decade of slaving for you he still **owes** you something?

So that night you were signing him up for life long slavery for the light? Gotcha.

And of course Dumbledore deciding whose soul could be ripped and whose can't be. Ugh.

Although at this moment I am convinced fairly well that Dumbledore had a pretty good idea that Harry may survive, which can change of course, my conviction that is :-)

He keeps his eyes close for way too long during that conversation if you ask me :-)

So, maybe at least I will lay off the charge of him being Harry's murderer, we shall see :)

JMO,
