Do you think snape is a hero
J.K.R: Yes, I do; though a very flawed hero. An anti-hero, perhaps. He is not a particularly likeable man in many ways. He remains rather cruel, a bully, riddled with bitterness and insecurity - and yet he loved, and showed loyalty to that love and, ultimately, laid down his life because of it. That's pretty heroic!
Did lily ever have feelings back for Snape?
J.K.R.: Yes. She might even have grown to love him romantically (she certainly loved him as a friend) if he had not loved Dark Magic so much, and been drawn to such loathesome people and acts.
She would have loved him and they were meant to be (except not - you know what I mean) and James was absolutely right to be jealous, fucking loser, and I now ship them from the bottom of my heart. Just saying.
Personally I think all live chats with JK Rowling should be taken as gospel truth and canoner than canon but I might - possibly - be biased right now.
ETA: He wanted Lily and he wanted Mulciber too.
Hehehehe. Yeah, me and Voldemort, always only thinking in one direction.
