Harry Potter!!!?

Question

Okay, folks, we're down to the wire now! Time to stop straddling the fence!

What do you think, is Snape a GOOD guy or a BAD guy!?!?

awww, Suzie Q, didn't you hear? JKR said Dumbledore IS really dead. Sorry to break it to you :(

Answer 1

Snape will turn out to be a good guy in the end, which doesn't necessarily mean he'll all of a sudden start making nice with Harry and his friends. He can be a good guy and STILL not be very likeable.

The arguments for Snape being a bad guy don't hold up very well in logical terms. In order for those arguments to make any sense, you have to start by making a large number of black-and-white assumptions about the wizarding world. And with that as a starting point, those arguments don't have a leg to stand on, because JKR doesn't write that way.

Answer 2

I believe Snape is good, and will prove it by giving his life for Harry. I believe he killed Dumbledore on Dumbledore's orders. IF he's really dead, that is....I haven't decided on that yet. It sure seems like he is, but you never know....didn't Snape say in the first book, "I can show you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even PUT A STOPPER IN DEATH?" In any case, he can still communicate through his portrait in the headmaster's office. There HAS to be a reason Dumbledore trusted Snape so much. He is not evil. I think he truly dislikes Harry, but he is not evil.

Answer 3

Ok, my personal opinion, and one that I feel is backed up by actions in the books, is that Snape is definitely NOT evil. I think that given the many MANY times he stopped Voldemort or one of his followers from doing Harry in is one way to show that he's not. Also, Dumbledore wasn't an idiot and I think he'd been preparing for his death for a while now *remember in the FIRST book how he told Harry that death was merely another adventure?* and he did trust Snape. I think Snape was acting on Dumbledore's orders and the Unbreakable Vow, not because it's what Voldemort wanted.

Answer 4

Hi
Snape has been frequenty popping in or someway involved with the major scenes and plots of the majority of the books. This is why i think Snape will be a signficant character in the last book. He will either have the information or the help Harry need to finish Voldemort, or Harry will have to fight him in a one on one battle. We may find out more his past as the last 2 books have been revealing information about his life. I think it is more likely that Snape is on the side of good as i think J.K has tried to convince readers he is truly evil so that they will not suspect that he may maybe the key to finishing Voldemort off or some other unsuspected twist..... We will just have to wait for the book to come out.

Answer 5

snape is good. he only killed dumbledore because of the promise he made with draco's mom. i'm sure dumbledore knew about the promise and even though draco is bad he is probably one of those headmasters that loves his students and he didn't want draco to have to do that. So I'm still going for snape to be a good guy in the end.

Answer 6

Dumbledore's toast. Snape used Avada Kadavra on him. Snape is most assuredly a bad guy, no question.

Answer 7

Snape murdered Dumbledore. This one act shows where his loyalties lie.

Answer 8

I think Snape is a good guy. He may be acting as a "Double Agent" so to speak. But, I think he will come out as good and help Harry.

I think Harry lives. It would be a shame to kill him off after all of this.

Answer 9

Dumbledore drank some Phoneix blood before he had his death staged. His body will mysteriously light on fire and he'll rise from the ashes.

Answer 10

He's good...he HAD to "kill" Dumbledore....but you never know, the phoenix comes back to life too, now doesn't it???

Harry is not dead, though.
