Snape, Good Or Bad?

I like the theory that mcgonagal is a spy but i don't think she is because she is dumbledore's friend....
and do you think that if she really is a spy why would she consider closing hogwarts... We all know that VOLDEMORT consider hogwarts as home so i think he won't let it close.........
back to snape i think his having a revenge on james thru harry... it is really hard to guess if he really is good or bad...... i also think he killedf dumbledore to protect his own skin... i also have the theory that dumbledore only sacrifice himself to save snape's life.. ... to be honest i hate him right from the start

I think Snape is a good guy. I mean, I've read the 7th book (and I don't want to spoil it for anyone that hasn't...) but I seriously think he's a good guy. Sure, he seems kind of evil, but there was that part in the first book & movie, where Harry was looking at Snape, who was talking to Quirell, whose back was to Harry (and we can safely assume that Voldemort was already attached to the back of Quirell's head) and Harry thought Snape caused the pain in Harry's scar, when really it was Voldemort/Quirell who caused it.

And then, in the second book & movie, Snape actually STUCK UP for Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Obviously they were wondering what drug he was on, but he actually stuck up for Harry.

Book & movie three: In the book, he made up a really bad lie, yes... but in the movie, notice how he protected the Trio when Lupin went werewolf.

Book & movie four: We start to notice that maybe Snape really is Voldemort's man. The scene about the Dark Mark, for instance. Crap really starts to hit the fan from there.

Fifth book & movie: Evil much? Snape called Lily a Mudblood, in the chapter titled "Snape's Worst Memory". But what part made that his worst memory? Hmmm... maybe the part where he was being tormented... or the part where he called Lily a Mudblood?

Sixth book & movie: Snape the Bad Guy! But not really. He made the Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa Malfoy... but why? For her reason? Or his own? Towards the end, in Dumbledore's death scene, he seems to be pleading with Snape. "Severus... please..." and all that jazz. And then, BAM, Snape kills him. Take a closer look at Dumbledore's crippled hand though... that's a key part in book 7.

And this is where I shut up.

That's my take on the books/movies... So yes, overall, I do think Snape's a good guy.

(WOWWW, that was really long!)
But that's my opinion. :]

i soooooo deteste snape
hahaha shirl, dont ran that fast, take me with you.........

I still think that snape is a good guy. You can say what you want about him, but you can't deny the love he had for Lily.
I know he was nasty to Harry, but I honestly think he could'nt help himself. Everytime he saw Harry he could see his father, James.

I totaly agree with you ghg!

But we're adults ...we HAVE to learn to live with our disabilities ... but I don't know why I'm even saying it? I mean his whole meloncholia is pivotal to the series.

Yup...It's all good (not bad)

I think snape and good guy

Easy- good.
