> Pippin:
> No, he just has to go and get himself killed without even a reminder of the person he is doing it for. Harry would understand. Harry was not the rightful owner of the resurrection stone, either. Dumbledore stole it. 

Alla:

It is not like that person made a contract with Snape under which he was entitled to something of hers in order to go get himself killed. Snape decided that, so I do not think that he gets to pick a reward that does not belong to him for that. And if *Harry* stole the resurrection stone, I would have thought it just as bad.

> Pippin:
> Lily was Snape's best friend -- she did love him, once.  I'd be interested in a response to my point that Snape had no reason to think that Harry was ever going to get the letter. He might not even have known that Harry had found the rest of the letter at GP. 

Alla:

Sorry, I did not respond to it, because I did not think it was relevant. It is not up to Snape to decide that DE may take away family posessions, so he will steal them first.


Pippin:
>  We don't know what happened to the house once the DE's got inside, do we? For all we know they trashed it completely. Or maybe Bella moved in for a while. I doubt she'd have been very careful of her dear cousin's legacy. She wouldn't want anything that a mudblood had touched, much less written. 

Alla:

Again, I think it is completely irrelevant IMO of course. They may have trashed it, or they may have been disgusted that they did not even touch anything that belongs to Mudblood. I am talking about what Snape did.


Pippin:
> I suppose the last page of the letter and the photo of Lily remained where Snape put them, in the pocket of his robes. If Harry wanted them so much he would know where they are. But I would think he let them be buried with Snape. He was not so obsessed with his mother that no one else was allowed to love her. And he, unlike Snape, had a whole album with pictures of Lily in it, and the memory of her love in his very skin.

Alla:

Oh,I see. So having the *complete* letter that his mother wrote and the *complete* picture, not the half of it means that Harry is obsessed with his mother?

Yes, he has the album of pictures, it is however not up to Snape to decide what else Harry should and should not have.

JMO,

Alla
