It is only one quote, but I figured it will be not on Snape, so I will put it here :-)

"I speak now, Harry Potter, directly to you. You have permitted your friends die rather than face me yourself."


Alla:

Okay, I am sure I mentioned before that if I were to list JKR's shortcomings in these series, I would put Voldemort all together somewhere on the top of the list. I mean, he works for me as evil psychopath of course, it is the brilliant, talented, charming wizard whom I cannot see, somebody who knows how to recruit followers and what makes people tick, etc.

But this quote actually shows a glimpse of that person to me, somebody who knows what makes people tick.

I mean, I thought it was super astute, just hit Harry where it hurts him the most - guilt of not able to do his saving people thing. Very nice Voldie, sometimes you can not be an idiot.
