The Snape story-line alone is what I consider a masterpiece... I mean, she could've written a book called Severus Snape and the Deathly Hallows instead of Harry Potter.

Snape is truly a human character. He is the best and most intricate character in the Harry Potter series, since the very beginning.

I still can't believe she planned all that.

The part I didn´t like was that the prejudices towards Slytherin House stayed, despite the fact that Harry told his son Albus Severus his second name was after probably the bravest man he knew and a Slytherin.

Maybe if Lily would´ve been sorted into Slytherin it would´ve made a difference, and Snape would´ve been able to confess his love? I personally think the hat made a mistake because of the colour of her hair: it was mistaken her to be one of those Weasleys again


I suppose persons who didn´t like him before and changed their minds reading that chapter easily could´ve cried throughout the chapter. I´m glad you like him now, but I cannot lie that I wouldn´t have rather saved his life to avoid him to become a Sirius-like saint I guess our little fan club is going to have a member invasion now

I was reading the chapter in a What-did-I-tell-you manner. Most of it was no surprise to me.

I, too, appreciated Harry naming his son after the Headmasters: Albus Severus. I didn´t cry, though, I think it was least he could do

I´m sure those eyes comforted him a lot.


I´m hoping she would write a seven book series about Snape. That would of course make him disgustingly popular, lol, but I wouldn´t care as long as I could read seven thick books about Severus.

Well, they have to send a request. You could stop accepting new members. Or start to make hearings. Does it mean we'll have new officer posts? ARC? Assistant of the SSFC Registration Commission? Where can you apply?

I thought Severus Snape was a really complex and mistunderstood character! I felt so sorry for him because he was bullied at school and he grew up lonely and isolated, and the fact that he loved Lily but probably never told her. I thought he was going to die in the end (unfortunately) but he certainly did not deserve it! He should have lived and married and become the new DADA teacher.

I am not in charge with those applications. There´s only three of them at the moment: Nessie, Jan and Lissy, the latter of which I believe is busy with her new baby ... But I think we cannot deny membership only because they wouldn´t have loved him if he had turned out to be bad, can we?


Hearings ... And we´ll let Filch take care of it .... What a tempting idea

Quote:

i was nearly crying while i was reading through his tale, especially on how he expressed his devotion to Lily at those latter memories.... it was very emotional seeing a Snape so sad.....it was well created, well hidden, i was soooo wrong to him, and im sorry that he have to die, after all that he's been through, for me, he's not supposed to die, with a man that has full of love, loyalty and good conscience, he ddnt deserved it, he should have lived at least to talk to Harry about his true motives, the memories are soo many, yes, but i think its not indeedly enough for the sake of Snape's memory to be redeemed? get me? i hoped he have at least utter more words to Harry before he died....

Maybe it was best for him anyway? Maybe he still missed Lily so much he preferred to "move on"? I don´t know. I would´ve wanted him to stay alive, but after Lily´s son didn´t need any more protection, he maybe would´ve lost the track and turned out somekind of Hagrid.

*hides from rock-cakes thrown by Hagrid fans*

As much as that would be very, very cool, it seems we already know the climax of Ssverus' life...

I didn't learn too much that was different from what I believed Snape to be! I was pleased my theories about him were correct, but I must admit I did not expect to see him die the way he did! That was SO sad! I knew he loved Lily, but then he even confessed to loving Harry as well..WOW! That hit me big time!!!!!

I believe we don´t know half about Severus´s life ... He dies, alright, and he loved Lily in vain. Otherwise, for example what was his relationship to Narcissa, we don´t know much about. I believe Cissy might have been there to listen and console when Lily dumped him ... It would also be fun to watch Severus and Lily in Potions classes together and in the Slug club ... But yes, I don´t think she will write those books she hates him
Snape was quite as I imagined he would be. The death was ... unfair!

I think he thought Harry ought to know he loved Harry´s mother, because he sympathized him for Dumbledore had been "using" the both of them.

Quote:

Now you tell me you have been raising him like a pig for slaughter -

And maybe he wanted also to show him what his mother was like? No, I think he only wanted to show why he had been like he was and also understood that without telling certain things Harry would never believe he was telling the truth.

I thought snape was bad as he killed dumbledore and i just did not imagine severus was gooood !But i guessed that the patronous silver doe was snapes and then after that snape was a good guy but i change4d my mind as snape was pleading with vode that he wouild bring the potter boy and i kept on changing my mind upon on severus when severus was talking to volde!

I knew that snape was on dumbledores sides though he acted as a bad guy.But i did'nt predict this much would be there about severus snape in price's tale and i am also sorry for him to end up like this

You are forgiven ...

I didn´t even think whose the silver doe was, I was only thinking whether it was from a friend or an enemy, because our boy hero was again rushing around without thinking so many times I thought what Severus talked to Voldie was just, well, talk.
I don´t think his goodness was that obvious, but reading Dumbledore´s death scene pretty much convinced me he would´ve died anyway. Also the little clues we got screamed that those two great wizards had planned it all, Severus being rather reluctant to complete the task of killing Albus, though. Rowling still claims he wasn´t good, but that doesn´t matter, because I´ve liked him good or bad or neither.

He probably finally understood loads of things in the Pensieve. Subconsciously, so that Rowling didn´t have to write it down. It would´ve also made too long a delay before the final battle. Remember: Harry had only one hour to watch those thoughts. I thought it wouldn´t have been enough, but it obviously sufficed. After that he had nineteen years to think about things before praising Snape to his son.

He had to process his thoughts, obviously. But I agree Harry is a tad too perfect, even though I don´t think not admitting one is wrong makes one really perfect.

I hope that Snape was recoginzed somehow in the wizarding world for his actions. He sacrificed a lot for the Order and got nothing in return.

I hope he at least got a chocolate frog with his picture on it!

As JKR's most masterful character, I get the impression she doesn't like Snape very much. Not only does she call him an anti-hero but she said this is the Bloomsbury chat:

When I read the story and Snape left I didn't get the impression that he was giving up his post and or abandoning it. He died as headmaster, just like Dumbledore, yet his portriat was missing.

I hated the way Snape died. I wish it was in battle, kicking Voldie's butt. It was very shocking and anti-climatic at the same time. Kind of like when Sirius fell through the veil.

I hope he had a proper funeral and a well deserved resting place. Maybe Harry had him buried in Godric's Hollow. And visits his grave when he visits his parents. Poor Snape has no one else to visit him after-all...

I dont think he really was recognized all that much, i still think that even though so many people heard what he had done, most wouldnt actually completely welcome his memory. But I liked Snape and even though i always thought he was a good guy sorta, i was surprised at why he was a good guy in the first place.

I think he merits a portrait in the headmaster's office. It broke my heart to think he wouldn't get one. To me that just seems wrong. He may not have been in office for very long, and he may not have been very good at it, but he was in office, therefore he deserves a portrait. All the other headmasters and headmistresses got their portraits in office and they weren't all good but they are still there. Just saying...

But he has! My charrie got a chocolate frog card with his picture on it on her first year

I think that same quote was in the Slytherin house thread? She seems to want add Harry´s glory even more.

Exactly my feelings!

I´m sure he did well (and Slytherins got all the house points, mwahhahhaa ) and would´ve automatically have deserved a portrait just like any other headmaster.

He would´ve been a git just like his father if he hadn´t shown some respect to dear Severus.

I had guessed a few things about Severus already, including his friendship with Lily and having a crush on her.

I wasn't that surprised that he was Dumbledore's man to the end. What surprised me thoroughly was that loving Lilly so much he was capable of hating her son as he did.
I know, Harry was James's son, whom Snape hated to death, but still...
Nothing on Earth gives you the right to give such grief to most everyone around you, especially those who are under your power and don't have the means to defend themselves from you, whatever the reason.
