Snape's working with DD as evidence that he himself was somehow our 
true 'epitome of goodness' and a full-fledged hero. I mean, yeah, I 
was confident in DDM!Snape all along, had posted ages ago (like many 
others) about events on the tower which were borne out in DH, but I'm 
seeing some portraits of Snape at TOL which are decidedly TooGood!
Snape for my liking.

Well, of course Severus couldn't be the hero.? Even *I* don't think he's a hero.? I was personally hoping for Severus to live a long miserable life as Potions Master (which I still think he does *eg*).

He was Dumbledore's Man through and through, but that doesn't mean he was perfect.? We got the chance to see in this book that even DD himself wasn't as perfect as we had been led to believe.

I hate even discussing this because the idea of LOLLIPOPS or anything even close to it makes me physically ill.? Sorry to all those of you who are right.

SNAPE LIVES!
