I too expected more than a quick dispatch. I am at least grateful for the acknowledgment, however scant, that Severus sacrificed everything to repay his debts. I tried not to feel bitter about the circumstances of his death, then I found this little quote:
...Snape, who for a split second seemed to think he had been reprieved...” (US p. 656)
And then someone pointed out the small, crying figure in the cloud room, and I finally lost control.
I feel gutted, though somewhat cheered to find that this is not an isolated reaction.
Yes. I took it to mean that creature was Severus, because at the time I read that passage again, I was reacquainting myself with my repressed Dumbledore hatred. So glad that it might be Voldemort! It makes more sense to me now that you pointed it out. Thanks!!

The former sounded, to me, *exactly* like how the Dark Lord's body was described at the end of GoF.
