Snape was a successful spy from beginning to end, and that makes him cool. He should have worn a white dinner jacket under his robes ("Snape. Severus Snape.")
Snape was able to pull off being a spy for the good side and still had the cajones to hold personal grudges and insult people -- well, he's really the BEST!
I have admired Molly since the beginning too. She's so REAL. When I grow up, I want to be just like her.

I wouldn't say so. I guessed it the whole book but in the beginning he was watching people die and attacked George and lead the death eaters to attack Harry's escort.

I agree Pan, Snape's reason was pretty lame.

He meant to target the Death Eaters wand which was pointed at Lupins back but missed and hit George instead. |

Yea, but we didn't know that when it first happened.

Exactly, she did keep his allegiance pretty well disguised throughout DH.

Did Snape watching that girl die and his taking Georges ear off really fool anyone though? He was good and everyone figured out it despite all the bad stuff that he did which makes it even more lame because there was really no doubt when there should have been plenty because of his actions.

did you all think jk kept snapes allegiance pretty well covered in dh?
Charlotta says: (9:36:53 PM)
boobs*
Ellen says: (9:36:56 PM)

Charlotta says: (9:37:00 PM)

Charlotta says: (9:37:06 PM)

Ellen says: (9:37:19 PM)

Charlotta says: (9:37:33 PM)

I always thought Snape was good, but was quite puzzled during DH; he seemed pretty solidly bad throughout the entire thing. I read it all in one go, though, so I didn't have time to think about it a lot.

People thought it was obvious Snape was good because they wanted to.
It wasn't what you call obvious but it was not too well covered up either.

I think JKR did a great job of making it so that there were arguments on both sides. We had some great discussions about it, and both sides were defensible.

Indeed. I mean, she said hardly anything about Snape stepping in to stop torturing that occurred at Hogwarts under the Carrows even though he was headmaster. To all who were fairly open minded he seemd solidly evil up until the end but to those who already cemented the "He is good" opinion into their heads any attempt to make him appear otherwise naturally appears to be an obvious cover-up, it's all in your point of view.

Well, as the song says in Into the Woods, "Although scary is exciting, nice is different than good." Snape was good, in one sense, but he definitely was NOT nice.

I'm assuming he did his best to keep his promise to Dumbledore, but he still had to appear vicious for appearances sake. |

He didn't necessarily have to be, it was just his nature.

I dont think DH made him seem solidly bad. I mean for a second I was like "Voldemort is killing that woman and Snapes just sitting there!" but then its like what could he do in that situation? He's obvioulsy outnumbered unless theres other Death Eaters that were loyal believers until Lily Evans and her pretty red hair died. And like the thing with George wasn't lethal when it could have been.
