I thought I was going to have to disagree with you here, but you were going in reverse order, so I don't have to. I can't really say anything else, because you described it so beautifully. ♥

Have a Snape song.

Oh, that song is beautiful. The piano part gave me intense shivers.

Snape was such a tragic character in the end, and I think it's great because it twists the reader about. Like, do they forgive him all the pain he has caused Harry because of all he's done for the Order, and forget how much of a jerk he was? Its truly tempting, but I think that'd be doing the character a disservice. He's not a hero, he's not noble, he's not valiant. Like every other character in the series, he does what he does for personal reasons beyond 'the big picture'.

I knowww isn't it so well done?

Gah, isn't he just tragic? I ALWAYS KNEW HE WAS GOOD. But you're right, I shouldn't forgive him for everything. There was no need for him to be such a jerk, and I do have serious doubts as to whether he would have been on Dumbledore's side were it not for Lily, and he was terribly selfish, as was everyone else.
Doesn't stop me from loving his character, though.

Doesn't stop me from loving his character either :) Hell, given my thing for characters in the moral grey zone, it makes me love him a little more. He's truly one of JKR's most complex, well-written, dynamic characters.
