So I finished Harry Potter.

Damn.

Perhaps naively, I didn't see that coming.

Dude, if I hadn't just finished it, I would have been so pissed at you!

Here's the thing. I don't buy it. Not really. I just don't buy the fact that Snape is just a bad guy. It's got to be more complicated than that. Given the way he talked, Dumbledore had a definite reason for trusting him. Until I know what that was, I don't believe that it's just a simple matter of Snape being a bad guy. Maybe Dumbledore had thought it was his time to go. When they got back, why had he been so insistent on Harry getting Snape? Why Snape, of all people?

If she really did make him flat-out a Bad Guy, then I don't know...I'd be pretty disappointed by that.

I was pretty positive, though, that Dumbledore was going to be the one to die, from the very start. I also had a suspicion, before the book had even come out, that Snape was going to be the DADA professor this year. Why did Snape get so worked up when Harry called him a coward?

There's GOT to be more to it.

Yeah, there has to be more to it, but dude. What he DID. Damn.

But I think there's a REASON he did what he did! I don't think it was spur of the moment. I think there was a reason...I think for Snape, the ultimate act of courage was him killing Dumbledore.

I am also pleased to see that it seems much of fandom is agreeing with us on the Snape thing.

Not all, certainly, but from some of the reactions I'm seeing, I'm not the only one who feels so certain about this.
