Wisdom teeth, Snape/Dumbledore debate, HQoW
HQoW Chapter Three is up!!!
First of all it's mostly done hurting, by now, it's already been six hours and it's mostly just an ache that there. I didn't end up taking the Vicodin, it's mostly a nonsense but for some reason I dislike taking such medicenes. Obviously I took the Amoxylin, but Vicodin, Gah. I'm not sure why, but I don't think I've taken tylonal/advil/Vicdin/etc. in more than five years...
But the actual removal went very well, it was the upper and lower of the right set of wisdom teeth. The bootom was sideways, and the top one was actually in already, but they wanted to remove it because I think when they remove one of the pair they remove both, because it keeps on growing, besides I had a cavity in that tooth. Right now the pain is pretty much negligible, but if it hurts a lot more when I'm trying to fall asleep, I probally will end up taking something.
What are some good things to eat, so far I've only had water for the last ten hours?
On the Quill I posted a slightly longish post that I posted about Snape vs Dumbledore debate. It's more than I posted here previously so I decided to recopy it over here.
Two of the biggest pieces of evidence that Snape isn't evil don't really show anything.
The first piece of evidence is the fact that there is so much page time dedicated to Severus, and for Jo to go and than tell us he's bad, doesn't really make so much sense. First of all I doubt just because he is evil, at least that I think he's evil, and on Voldemort's side that doesn't mean he isn't going to be a major character. I definitly still think he's going to be a major character. From the sound of what he told Bellatrix at Spinners End, that he is already almost Voldemort's right hand man. Imagine after he kills Dumbledore. Voldemort is also a big character in the books, even if he doesn't get that much actual screen time, and he's not exactly on the good side. And he's considered a main character. The point is that while Jo switched his loyalties. she didn't just randomly give him a lot of page space. And now that Jo said the same enimity that there is between Voldemort and Harry, is now also between Harry and Snape. Harry doesn't have that kind of enimity even for Bellatrix. We see he could be some big shot among the Death Eaters.
As to the reason why he gave Snape the DADA job, while he may have told Severus that the reason was because he thought it may have brought out bad in Severus, I can't imagine that being the real reason. If Dumbledore trusted him, he trusted him totally. It better may just have been Dumbledore knew that it was an actuall jinx, not being a DADA teacher for more than one year. And Dumbledore decided to wait for the year when Voldemort was back and in the open to give him the job. Because whether evil or not, Snape is at his best with DADA. A year that Dumbledore wants all his students to be learning, as much as possible for defence against the Dark Arts.
The largest piece of evidence that, that Dumbledore trusted him, I don't really have anything to say except that as Jo pointed out in the interview people with high amounts of intelligence make larger than the normal mistakes.
Yes, Jo switched the loyalties of Snape, but I personally would find it even more strange is with after switching loyalties, to go and say that he was actually good in the end. Jo is writing a Fantasy, not a Dual Alligiance. (Or triple, or quadruple, or...)
