Thank you!

His completely senseless - pointless! - death hurts a thousand times worse than a meaningful death ever could.

I was looking forward to this book so much (mixed of course with a colossal amount of worry) after HBP -- a book filled with so much Snape I could barely believe my eyes.

How could she??? Rowling's writing here seemed so much like DH!Dumbledore that it disgusts me! It didn't really matter how or why anything was done, just as long as the path was cleared for her oh-so-disappointing ending everything was fine.

I was deeply saddened by Severus' end, but now I'm mad. Livid, in fact.

There had better be some fan-bloody-tastic fanfics written to make up for it all.

I'm all for AU fics now.

Bring. Them. On.

Check my journal. There are some posts and another about to go up with some links to rallying cries.

Nice to know I am not alone. The way she handled Snape makes me sick.

This part: "The boy's soul is not yet so damaged," said Dumbledore. I would not have it ripped apart on my account."

"And my soul, Dumbledore? Mine?"
very nearly made me almost physically ill.

I'm just. sick.

Yeah he seemed very out of character to me this whole book, and I could not pin how. I think seeing boy Severus jarred that up a bit. I could understand him being more sweet...or shy, rather and more wide-eyed, but it was odd seeing the grown Snape all...sentimental like that.

I dunno...

Yeah, I am totally sad about the way he died. I wasn't expecting it to be grand. She says herself that she hated him. I was glad that we were right about him. I was glad that Harry did reconise him. I didn't expect that much.

cmwinters July 22 2007, 21:37:31 UTC

I didn't either.

Check some posts to my journal.

Meh.

I think that was kind of the point, though - Voldemort just kills, without thought or even particularly well-developed reasons. The fact that Snape's death was so senseless is, I believe, supposed to tell us something about war and killers. That's my theory, at any rate.

Right!

cmwinters July 23 2007, 08:38:14 UTC

That was accomplished with the death of Hedwig.

broken_birdie July 23 2007, 08:48:46 UTC

yeah, true.

cm, please. don't get me wrong here. I know you're very, very sad and disappointed.

Your post so speaks out of my heart. She could have done so much more with this brilliant character and nonetheless she just decides to kill him off on one (!!) page. Just one page. One miserable page. It makes me sick ...

The book wasn't that bad, really, but when I reached the beginning of the last 200 pages I really wondered how Jo would bring in Snape properly in order to explain everything. The thing with the memories was ok ... but still seemed very thrown into to me, if you know what I mean. Just like "oh, shit, there's something left, I'll write it quick".

I intend to send Jo a letter about how disappointed I am of how she let Snape die, but that'd make as much sense as her killing off Snape and moreover it'd be childish ... well.

I could have handled her KILLING him (I'd have been sad, for sure), if there had been a POINT. He just DIED, and it so looked like it was because she simply didn't like him and didn't need him any more.

I thought she made him look stalkery and pathetic and squicky. And he didn't HAVE to be, and it wouldn't have deteriorated the series AT ALL if there had been a different end for him.

saiariddle July 24 2007, 02:34:33 UTC

you're right...wow...he did look very stalkery. Especially when he was watching Lily "hungrily." WTF?? Is he child-porn star now?? I think it was just the way she wrote it though...the scene was of course very tame, but she made it sound like a child porno at that part...ugh.

And what the FUCK (sorry) is so great about Lily? No one ever really got down to explaining that....but like Heath Ledger says in 10 Things I Hate About You, "Does this chick have beer flavored nipples, or what??"
