Dumbledore: Have you grown to care for the boy, after all?
Snape: For HIM? 'Expecto Patronum!'
From the tip of his wand burst the silver doe...
Dumbledore: After all this time?
Snape: Always.
Why does Snape conjure the Patronus? And what is Dumbledore reffering to when he says "After all this time"? I believe he is speaking of Snape's ongoing affection for Lily, but how does that relate to a patronus? Isn't a Patronus meant for fighting off dementors?
And also, what did you think of the book?! I thought it was great.
I was absolutely devastated at Snape's death, because I'd always known he was good and loyal to Dumbledore. And when he died, and looked into Harry's/Lily's eyes...tragic.
Many people say they are dissapointed, with "unnecessairy deaths" and such, but all in all, I think they contribute to the story as a WRITING piece all together. Think of Romeo and Juliette; Had they both survived, would it be what it is today?
