i think it was the best chapter and it explained that snape was good and why he was good. he loved lilly evans from the moment he saw her. too bad he was never loved by anyone in return though. except for dumbledore. it was a very touching and revealing chapter in my opinion

I enjoyed this chapter. It was a nice break and it was important for Harry to hear that he had to die. One thing that did bother me was Harry's lack of reaction to the fact that Snape and his mum were best friends, and he didn't seem stunned that Snape was a good guy.

I know, I know, hearing the news that you had to die after all probably pushed those thoughts aside, but by the end of the book I would have liked it if Harry had at least left instructions with someone to fetch Snape's body and bring him to the school to be placed with those who died defending it.

I never thought about that. What did happen to snape's body ? And all the other's that died. They never had a proper funeral. I also wanted to see what happened to Luna after 19years and how the rest of the weasly's were dealing with the death of fred. Who was teddy tonks living with btw??

Same here. That's exactly the way I felt. I don't think she needed to touch on THAT much background info between the two. It would have been enough to have one scene before Hogwarts, where Snape explains how it works to her, another short scene of the Sorting hat, one of her coming to his aid from James Potter, and their falling out. Could have taken only 3 or 4 pages.

The rest of it, the scenes with him and Dumbledore, were fantastic.

The background information was vitally important to Snape's, Lily's and even Petunia's stories. It shows the relationships, the brittleness of Petunia even at a young age, and it makes her quite sympathetic.

The fact that she wrote to Dumbledore and asked to attend Hogwarts was extraordinary, and then the breaking of the bond between sisters was very sad for me to read. We also see how bent Snape was, and we glimpse a bit more of what his home life was like.

Slightly off-topic, but I did hate the epilogue. Or at least I felt there should have been another chapter or few more pages dealing with the bodies and such. It felt like too big a jump for me, and I really wanted to see Snape's body treated with respect.

Do you think there is a painting of him in the Headmaster's office? I would hope so, but I'm not sure how those magical paintings work.

It felt too detached and disjointed from the main action. It literally was a stand alone scene that ripped us from the current settings. However it was a superbly written chapter that was a huge revelation and a huge development in character for Snape. A really cool chapter in a really odd place in the book yes

I really enjoyed this chapter. We got to know Snape a little better and found out how he was good in the end. I was surprised to see that the Doe was really his patronus. Great chapter, Great book.

I agree. This was my favorite part of the book because it revealed so much - you realize how brave Snape was, despite his inability to overcome his grudge against James Potter. Snape never liked Harry because Harry had Lily's eyes, which reminded him of what he had lost, and Harry was also a lot like his father and so Harry was a combination of what he loved and despised; a taunting ghost whose presence irked Snape. And still, he did what he had to do. He infiltrated Voldemort's innermost circle, and you can imagine how hard that must have been - to face and serve the man who killed the only person you ever loved without being discovered or losing control. Not to mention the fact that he always protected Harry, even though Harry usually didn't realize it.

I must say, after reading The Prince's Tale, Snape became my favorite character in the series.
