Alla:

LOL, Sirius is my second favorite character in the books and I was extremely happy when Snape died and more than satisfied the way JKR chose for him to die, that just to give you a brief idea how I feel about Snape, in case you did not figure it out yet ;). But I really do not see much difference here, you know?

I will never forgive Snape for not listening to Sirius begging and being ready to feed Sirius to dementors. That to me goes beyond holding grudges and beyond anything.

But are you saying that Snape should not have believed second hand reports? Are you saying that Snape should have done some investigating or something?

Why? Did he own Sirius something at that point? Now, Dumbledore I want to kick every time I think what he did for one of his soldiers (nothing).

JMO,
