NBC Today Show questions

[fritter_my_wig]

FYI, I just submitted two questions for the upcoming interview with 
JKR(using different emails).

1)
Severus Snape was apparently publically 'outed' as an ex Death Eater 
who had changed sides at Karkaroff's hearing. His exchanges with 
Quirrell whilst Voldemort was inhabiting his turban also implied his 
changed loyalty.  Why hasn't he suffered the same fate as Regulus 
Black, especially as Voldemort told us that the Death Eater he 
believed had left him for ever would be killed?    

2)(roughly - I forgot to copy it)
You have expressed a certain amount of dismay over the tendency of 
some readers to fall for the 'bad boys' in your books together with 
warnings about future developments. What does the future hold for 
Professor Snape's many fans? Will their world be turned entirely 
upside down by the end of the series?

(I'm actually seriously worried about that second one; in fact it's 
my biggest concern about the whole series. Sad individual, I know. 
Amanda - are you worried too?)

There's nothing to say that questions are welcome only from children, 
but they do ask you to submit your age. I confessed to being an adult 
as I didn't think I could get away with pretending to be 11. How many 
11-year old Snapefans are there? ;-)
