Its' another reason that I admire Severus so much, is that side of him that loved Lily, did so much for Harry, went to Dumbledore- and in the end he kind of just laid it all out there for Harry, the very person he didn't want to know, because this was the last, this was beyond lies, beyond the past, the final absolution. He can still think of Harry, of the war, of his duty- which he finally has every excuse to discard, hopeless as it is for himself and the one he fought to protect, or so he believes. (Although at some point I would guess he may have figured it out, knowing and working for Albus as long as he did.) |
I would hazard to guess that Snape may very well be one of the most remembered characters years down the road. He's, quite simply, the tragedy of the series, - he didn't have a moral flaw, as we all thought, - he was just the most lonely child/man on the planet earth.
