Rowling Takes on the Deathly Hallows Deniers

[rattlesnakeroot]

For years Rowling left the Snape fans dangling upside down over burning coals while the Snape-haters got in line to Scourgify us just because we existed (to paraphrase James Potter). Before the Harry Potter series ended in 2007, JKR seemed to enjoy the "Snape: Good or Evil" controversy, and lectured anyone who dared to sympathize with Snape's

I've always worn my "I was always Team Severus" t-shirt with pride, but today I wore it even more proudly.

About time she admitted Snape Rules.

Not that Our Sev would give a damn what anyone thought/thinks of him!

I think Snape exists quite well without JKR! :)

"I don't like a character I love being used as a pretext to abuse other readers" is sooo my favorite quote. It inspired lovely daydreams of having it to put in my sig, back in the heated post-DH discussionsof which I was a part!

Yes!!! Why didn't she say that sooner? I guess she hinted around over the years, saying he was a "gift of a character."

It's about time-

But, honestly, Rattlesnakeroot, it seems too little, too late to me. For eight years, Rowling has basically encouraged the Snape haters. Even today, she can't manage to come out and say that he is good, nor that he is a hero.

She somehow managed to write a complex and vivid and believable character in Snape. I'm glad she does at least see that. But it would be nice if she could admit his essential goodness.

Nice and good are not the same thing.

Oh, you're right - I was re-reading Deathly Hallows and I still get angry that she denied him a portrait and that he wasn't one of the spirits conjured up by Harry with the Resurrection Stone. It's disappointing.

I think some of us are satisfied to see her having to argue about Snape's motives years later against these readers who won't accept the canon. I guess she feels our pain now. She's not going to rename Albus Severus at this point with "The Cursed Child" coming out, and I think that's the reason she is defending Snape's good name all of a sudden.
