> 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:
Harry knew it was stolen. So if Snape bought the letter from Mundungus, that would be okay?

> > 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.

> 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:

Snape is an Order member. Of course it is up to him to guard the Order's possessions from Death Eaters. 


> 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?

Pippin:
Yes, if he felt that he could not share anything of hers with someone else who loved her.
