Reply to NataliaLidia Severus Snape may be evil, but then his 愛 for Lily made him do several things inconsistent with what an evil person would do. He feels terrible grief and remorse for causing her death and even agrees to spy and act as an double-agent on Lord Voldemort for Dumbledore because of his grief. Now, if he was outright evil. He would have taken immense pride in helping his master remove a serious threat, no matter the collateral damage. He didn't, if Snape was ruthlessly evil, he would have not cared at all if the 愛 of his life died as a consequence of his plots または not. He did care, why? Why if he is so evil as NataliaLidia claims? I answer myself: He might not be as evil as she portrays him, despite the affiliations and alliegences he had. Let me quote Chaucer: amor vincit omnia - 愛 conquers all. So in the context of love, Snape's actions seem entirely plausible, he hates Harry because Harry is a mirror image of the person that ストール, 盗んだ the 愛 of his life. He agrees to help Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix because he wishes to repay Lily for taking her life. He walks on burning coal because he has this thing called 愛 and remorse. Now please do name one single outright evil person that really really regrets his actions. While あなた do that, I conclude: Snape is not an evil person as he really wants to mend the disaster he has caused to his own life. Comparing to another HP character: Bellatrix Lestrange, she haven't got the single thought of remorse yet. Instead, Mdme. Lestrange enjoyed the insanity she caused Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom to the point where she might be deemed insane herself. If Snape felt the same, we would have seen him enjoy the deaths he caused Mr. Potter, Snape never mentioned James in a positive light in the books, because of hate. But in the seventh book we see him ask Dumbledore to hide James as well when confronted head on with the question. A evil person would have not cared for his rival that much, so again I - We must conclude that Snape does not qualify to be evil. Quod Erat Demonstrandum.
