Did anyone else think there were a lot of parallels between Ron and Snape? Both were kind of outcasts, dressed oddly even by wizarding standards, overshadowed by their more popular friends, both in love with a "Mudblood"... didn't Ron even call Hermione a Mudblood in anger once (if I remember correctly)? I remember thinking before Book 7 that Ron would be the most likely to be tempted by the Dark Side. Glad Ron managed to turn it around before it was too late and did not have to atone the way Snape did.

(Yes, Ron did call Hermione a Mudblood. I think that was in the 5th book.)

I actually liked Snape.....Evil or not, I always thought his character was well-written, and much needed.

Snape wasn't evil... angry and resentful, yes, easily manipulated, maybe, evil no. He spent the first half of his life desperately in love with Lily and the second half trying to atone for his role in her death, and it ultimately cost him his own life. I feel great empathy for Snape; he may have been a vampire but ultimately he was very human.

I'd have like to see Proff. McGonagall. more Can't realy discribe it, but I think there's more to her character, that was never brought out, plus I alway thought there was something between Dumbledore and her.

After Book 6, I always said that Harry was a horcrux! I knew it! I just knew it!

I felt Snape was good too. I didn't understand Dumbledore's death in book 6. Now I realize that he chose it to happen that way because he was dying anyway, but after book 6, I thought Dumbledore wanted Snape to do it so he would not blow Snape's cover.

Love the whole series!
