By the way, what do you think about Snape? The number of his fans seem to be grown up too much in the last years. Even Harry Potter himself seems to have fallen into his shade. They all think Snape is the best character in the series. They seriously believe he is a good guy and think that everything wrong he does can be justified. They also say that what he did at the end of the 6-th book, was at Dumbledore’s request. I personally don’t believe it, but even if it were true, that doesn't make him a good character. He is just sadist, in any case. Whatever his motives were in that situation, he deserves 100 times to be kicked out from Hogwarts for his actions in the other books. And what puzzles me most of all, is the fact that some of them have started to like Snape even BEFORE the ending of the first book, where it is revealed that he saved Harry's life. But before this ending, not only he didn’t show any positive qualities, he didn’t even seem to have anything interesting or original. He seemed just a flat, annoying “bad guy”, no different from Harry's uncle and aunt. If these people were fans of evil characters, I could understand them (though not agree with them). But no, they seriously think that Snape is good!
