Am still in conflict as to wheteher Snape is guilty or not. I *want* him to be redeemed, but...I can't yet come up with a completely plausible explanation for everything.
I thought Haary was much better characterised in this book as well. And Draco.

Even after writing this, I'm still not sure. For one thing, I heard a convincing argument by another LJer that Snape could have got carried away with events, or done it on the spur of the moment. So he might not have been totally guilty - the situation might have just run away with him.
I've also heard that the forms that Snape's Patronus and Boggart take are very significant, and since we haven't seen either in the books yet, this seems like another thing that makes Snape less black and white.
I really don't know. Either of these two options suggest that Snape's a far more ambiguous character than is immediately obvious by his actions, and that he has a lot of hidden motivations and surprises up his sleeve that JKR has yet to reveal.
