Book discussion:taeric said:Hmm.... I'm not sure. I think the potion was just a general "cause despair" potion.
Also, (DO NOT READ if you haven't finished the book!!)
I'm not convinced Snape is a bad guy, though. It is clear he hates Potter, but I still don't know if he is "evil." Part of me thinks when Dumbledore was saying please, he was asking Snape to finish it before something else happened. I mean, it was basically either Dumbledore dies, or Snape dies. Probably Malfoy, too.
And...
I must confess I was quite pissed that he died. Especially with Harry still being quite the wuss. He better get stronger in the next book.
I agree with you about Snape, he made the promise to Malfoy's mother without knowing what the task was, and he had to fulfill the promise less he die himself... and at the end when he kept defelcting Harry's jinxes and curses and didn't perform any unforgivible curses on Harry to make him stop. I think Snape is really in a bad spot, even worse now that Harry knows he's the one that turned his parents over to the big V
This all makes book 7 a must read although
I wonder how they'll proceed since none of them are going back to school next year.
lol
