yes he turned over from voldemorts side, but what u dont know is that he went back over to voldemort, and helped the dumbledore ETC hunt down death eaters, double agent style.
he did it again (although he never faced Voldemort he did converse with death eaters) at the end of GOF, and middle of OOTP.
snape is a cool character. |

Am I one of the few people alive who have absolutely no interest in Harry Potter?
I passed JK Rowling's house in Perthshire when I was white water rafting.
Fuck sake - and you suckers paid for it!

snape is a cool character. | Yea, I have actually read the books you know! As I said, there is supposed to be more we have to find out about Snape and reasons for him being a double agent or whatever in the next 2 books! That's what I would like to read about in this book, a little more insight into snape's history!
God, I should stop posting on here coz people always seem to think I'm thick!

Wont be getting the book though. | Funny you should say that i was actually thinking the same thing last night.
Neville is too obvious the second choice would be Hagrid and no one would think of Dudley,God could you imagine that,Dudley up against Voldermort  |

however i beleive that voldemort broke that bond when he was resurrected, as the part where he can touch harry is gone, why not the rest? |

And the Dark Lord shall mark him as his equal, but he will have powers the Dark Lord knows not. And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives.'
Basically the only person who can kill Voldemort was born at the end of July to parents who had evaded him 3 times, he'll be marked as a symbol of his future and his destiny is to be decided as killer or be killed. |

| Re: Harry Potter July 16th (Half Blood Prince) I am so excited about this I can hardly sit still. Citizen and I are going to WH Smith at midnight to get our copies. I tried to convince him to dress up but he was having none of it  I'm going to go to Borders during the day as they're having an all day event from 12pm (according to the Metro anyways). Wooooooo roll on tomorrow
