Hasn't anybody picked up on the idea of JK's plot twists and Harry not knowing all the facts? Dumbledore wouldn't beg for him life... he was beging for Snape to kill him and not blow his cover.

Snape isn't evil. He's just the best actor in the magical world. Somebody give him the Order of Oscars or something. Lol.

Plus he keeps protecting Harry all through his escape, trying to teach him even as he's running away.

Haha, Naruto-dono, Order of Oscars...

And, uh, yeah, what cecilymsmith and everyone after her said. Just because he was the one to kill Dumbledore doesn't mean he's no longer on their side. Remember the argument overheard in the forest between Snape and Dumbledore? It begs the question, was Dumbledore arguing with Snape about the lengths he would have to go to in order to keep his cover or were they arguing because he suspected he was evil. As by my choice, you can guess which one I think.

Snape had plenty of times he could have killed Harry AND gotten away with it, or at least handed him over to good old Voldy and he didn't. Case in point: the duel after Dumbledore's death. Harry was too blinded by emotions to realize that Snape's taunts were actually words of advice, and also Snape simply blocked his attacks and didn't try to take him out. Why would he do that if he was evil?

Plus the whole point of the books can't be that you shouldn't trust people, that there's no possibility of redemption. It invalidates Dumbledore's whole character if his last act was to beg for his life.

i really dont see how you can justify sanepe killing dumbledore. okay, some people say that dumbledore was asking him to kill him. why would he want sanpe to dispose of the only person that voldy ever feared?? it seems wayy more important to have him than to have snape "undercover"

I hope the entire 7th book is not Harry being mad at Snape for most of the book because he can't figure out/accept that he is good. That always bugs me when you know something the character doesn't. Especially because then you feel as though it's obvious.

lol ktlady. i think snape is good, just about. Yes he killed dumbledore but i had a weird idea that possibly it was all forseen and dumbledore in his pleading was just saying, yes this is the time.

a totally whacky idea that i had when i couldnt quite believe dumledore had gone was this: (u prob wont like it lol) is it possible that before dumbledore went travelling around with harry, that somehow severus and dumbledore switched forms with some highly complex unknown spell? and as a return of favors from dumbledore, snape gave his own life (yet looking like dumbledore) to let dumbledore live and help harry kill voldemort. (if u dont understand it/like it, dont worry, its practically all complete BS anyways)
well basically what im saying is no, like all most above me i agree and say snape is good enough to not be called evil

I totally agree, I knew that he wasn't evil; I thought he has to kill Dumbledore, but not for the real reason. (I thought something went on with the Unbreakable Vow). Now I like him a whole lot more, since I know his sacrifices/love. (Was anyone else predicting the "Snape loved Lily" thing?)

I did think that was going to happen, that he loved Lily...I just never thought that was the reason Dumbledore trusted Snape or that was the reason for Snape protecting her.

I use to hate Snape but know I love him. When I was reading the half blood prince I never actually thought he was a death eater (but I still hated his cos he was horrible, but a good caricter) and was pretending to get information for the order of the phoenix but when he killed Dumbledore I quickly changed my mind until the truth was revealed in the deathly hallows.
