I love Snape, and the subtle hints that Alan gives us in the movies are brilliant. He knows his stuff. I have followed his career for ages now.
I wonder what harry will do to Snape in book 6. Snape is obviously going to keep tormenting him, and Hrry isn't gonna take it from him.
Snape hates Harry, always has. Now harry hates him, and knows how it feels.
i dunno..... maybe if Snape was in love with Lily and then Lord V had MURDERED her..then he would resent Lord V...though he would never tell him. Lord V still think snape is a trusty DE.....b/c he is D-dore's spy.
He must have truly showed some GENUINE GOOD to Dumbledore....ALSO....d-dore probably knew about his longing for Lily.....and also he knew that snape resented james....he said that in the last chapter of OOTP (i think the last chap).
he told Harry how he didn't think Snape would still grudge James and how he was doing things to Harry...as if harry were james
