Borders released an exclusive book entitled
The Great Snape Debate by Orson Scott Card, Joyce Millman, and Amyin Berner, April of 2007. The subject of the book, should it not be obvious, is:
Quote:
The Harry Potter books are supposed to be about Harry Potter. So why can't we stop talking about Severus Snape?
Love him or love to hate him, Snape has become the pivotal character in the Harry Potter series. There are plenty of reasons to believe he killed Dumbledore at the end of Half-Blood Prince at Dumbledore's behest -- but plenty of reasons not to, too. So is Snape on Harry's side, or is he on Voldemort's? Is he bad to the bone, or just a little misunderstood?
Only after Deathly Hallows will we know for sure . . . but we can make some educated guesses now.
Designed as a flip book, half the book provides the case for Snape's innocence and when flipped over, the other half provides the case for Snape's Guilt. In The Great Snape Debate, you'll get all the facts on our favorite Potions Master so you can decide for yourself.
