SNAPE
Ok, so I want everyone's take on this. I've been reading some of the stories, and doing some research on the characters on my own, and I got to thinking this morning about Snape's character and his motivations behind his actions. Obviously, a lot of his motivations stem from his love for Lily, his need for acceptance and a place to belong.
But what I'm curious is in all the time he was working toward becoming a Death Eater and working along side Voldemort....did he ever believe the propaganda? Was he truly a purist, or did he just join because of his interest in the Dark Arts and need to belong somewhere?
