snape was not a saint Ryan. he was just the bravest character in the whole saga. awesome harry called his kid Albus Severus! best part DH!

Worst part in DH, and worst part in the series. And I would say Harry, Ron and Hermione are easilly the bravest of all. Especially Ron and Hermione because they could have just een like being friends with Harry is too dangerous forget him. And Harry having to face all the adversity of life basically alone in the world, no true family and any one who came close was killed. DEfinatley those 3 are the bravest no doubt about it.

I think Snape did a lot of very brave things, I think he played his part, and he did great in every way. In my opinoin, which thats what this is all about opinoinsnone of us are JK), I think she was trying to make snape look bad a first so when you did finally come to love him at the end then there would be lots of mixed feelings.
Things to leave us pondering!

Not really. I said he thought he was doing the right thing. Theres a difference.

Snape always understimated Harry. Not just Snape, almost all the adults. The right thing would probably have been to also make sure that Harry didn't go running off somewhere. But hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Yeah, Fanny, Snape was brave. He had to be. But he had no choice but to be brave, really. He'd painted himself into a corner he could never have got out of unless he played both sides a little, or appeared to be at least. He was actually quite dumb in the beginning. By the time he did grow some senses, he'd already been party to quite a lot of damage.

I agree there. Ron and Hermione were quite brave at times. And Harry being the central character also had to be. But it would be wrong to deny that Snape was brave. He was. Playing both sides can be a cowardly thing. But he was actually Dumbledore's man in the end. He wasn't playing both sides and staying safe at either end, he was actually only working for Dumbledore. He was a good actor, and a brave one.

I think you're right, Shade. But it's quite apparent that not everyone came to love Snape in the end. There are still mixed feelings about him.

yes i believe that snape could have done more there..like what alo said, making sure harry wont do anything, and snape knew harry would do everything to help sirius. but he didnt care.
and to Aicha: you cant be serious! you like that name? you are the only one...

You are right Love...Snape didnt do anything becouse he didnt care what happend to Sirius....Snape only help Harry becouse Harry was Lilys son, not becouse he care what will happend to Harry just becouse he was Lilys kid...

snape was sweet come on his poor heart was broken

Well, what would YOU have done in that situation?

Well I would probably stop Harry from going there...

how would you do that with umbrigde around? or are you suggesting him going with the lot into the forest?
