Aw, fuck it.. I can't get the reply to go right... So I;m just gonna do a little bit of it:
- I was expecting Snape's death to be a whole lot more...important and dramatic? I mean, I knew the dude was going to kick it,
Yeah, I've thought for a long tine that Snape wouldn't make it out alive. And I was right. [sigh] Why was this one of the things I had to be right about?! [shakes fist]
but the way it happened just SUCKED hardcore for him. Man, I can't wait to see how the Snapefen react.
As a Snape fan let me say: I'm actually ok with it. Besides, it's what happens afterwards that I care about; about what Snape gives Harry (both physically and metaphorically) before he dies.
- I just really liked Lily coming to Petunia's defense in the flashbacks. And maaaan, it sucks to be Snape even more!
Yeah, ouch. I'd like to address a few of Snape's memories... -I actually liked that Snape and Lily seemed to be friends. When I realized Jo WAS going for the "Snape loved Lily" angle, it kinda bugged me (can we say "cliche"?), but... I dunno, they WAY she did it made me ok with it. It was... kinda sweet. And it says a lot about Snape that, even after marrying another man, he still wanted to protect her. He was not so bitter about her choice as to completely write her off and be glad about her dying. -The scene with Snape producing the doe Patronus made me gasp out loud, as I realized that it was HIM who had led Harry to the sword. -The scene with him crying over the picture and the letter, and taking the page with her signature... Damn, dude. -"Do you want me to [kill you] now, or would you like a few moments to compose an epitaph?" Ah, Snape, you sarcastic son of a bitch... ^_^
