sapphiretragedy posted something in her journal about Snape actually being the hero of the books because without him, none of it would have happened
( Read more... )
It is actually not Lily's love for Harry that protects him, it is Snape's love for Lily; because without that Lily would have never been given a choice.
Thank you for pointing this out, although I think that seeing it this way it's actually Lily and Severus' love combined. :) I like this idea.
Maybe Dumbledore himself thought Voldemort would see him as the likely choice, and therefore suggested they chose somebody else.
No, DD clearly stated that it was Potters' choice to refuse his offer and chose Sirius/ switching to Peter at the last moment.
I don't understand why JKR says that because Snape wasn't ideal he cannot be a hero. :/

Now that you mention it, I seem to remember that. *sigh* Time for a re-read, I guess. IN that case, maybe the idea somebody else had is true, that Lily found out too much about Dumbledore's backstory from Bathilda to trust him.
Definition. Since literature theoreticians cannot come to agreement what is a difference between 'hero', 'modern hero' and 'anti-hero' (and several others) I don't care as long as it has 'hero' in it.
