HARRY POTTER & THE HBP - what did you think? (SPOILERS!) (3 Viewers)
- Thread starter bubz :D

hate to say it, but i reckon snapes a good guy. gut feeling i guess.
but im kinda thinking why snapes parents passed down a 6th year potions book to snape, for him to use, when ron's family, being poor (or once being poor), didn't even pass down a 6th year potions book to ron (and note, bill, percy, and charlie, both finished at hogwarts i think, and then his parents as well, so there's gotta be atlesat 1 book lyin around somehwere) ?
because obvioiously snapes mother had to pass the book down to snape to make it 50 years old and for snape to be the hbp, because harry thought it was his dad, but it couldn't be since it was 50 years old. so yeah. just thinking its kinda weird.. :/

I personally think Snape wants the best of both worlds- to be on Dumbledore's good side and Voldemort's good side so then whichever side wins the war, Snape is no worse off. Of course, in killing Dumbledore, he has now disgraced himself to both sides: the Order hasn't got anyone to spy on the Death Eaters, and won't have him back, and the Death Eaters don't have anyone to spy on the Order for them (because the Order won't exactly welcome him back with open arms).
Just a theory anyway.

bets are that next book the order falls apart...leaving the only thing stopping voldermort.....Harry..... (my bets anyway)nuclear chick said:
i dont think that characters will be on "both sides" its too LOTR i reckon (e.g. Bilbo, Boromir) ...i think JKR will find something completely abstract and work with it and it will be THAT, that at the end of the day....is the reason we love harry potter (the book...not the character....i kind of hate him alot) so much!

why did Dumbledore give Snape DADA as a teaching post? there must be something in that, as there was brief mention in the book that Dumbledore didnt want him 2 have it previously in case he got 2 deep,
but maybe he got it so A) harry could continue 2 do potions and B) Snape could watch over harry as maybe he has 2 do
because even tho snape couldnt kill harry on Voldermort's orders, surely he could have easily enuf just disarmed him/captured him, and taken him with him back to LV

Maybe he knew that Snape would want to punish Harry through DADA by teaching him bullshit spells. So, now that Dumbledore was privately tutoring Harry, the boy-wonder wouldn't be suseptable to Snape's meddling?

I think he did know about it. That divination teacher knew about "lightning struck tower" and maybe she told dumbledore that's why he didnt want to see her(yes, i know she wanted that centuar teacher gone), but still..
dumbledore would of known or would of been smarter about snape even though JK Rowling said "i make bigger mistakes" thing

i was looking at the other books yesterday and thought to myself, 'it is such a shame that the first three books are so short. I mean, think about how much more she could have put in them, how much more complex the story could have become...if only she was a better writer at the start"Argonaut said:
I agree with you, her writing style has somewhat matured as the series progresses
