Thinking glum thoughts about Snape

[valis2]

When I reread the series awhile ago, I remember laughing because Ron sometimes inadvertantly says something funny/clueless-sounding that turns out to be true later. (Like Moaning Myrtle being the victim in CoS.)

Well, one of those moments made me freak out, because he says (in PoA? can't remember) something like this when Hermione is defending Snape:

"Poisonous toadstools can't change their spots," Ron said sagely.

It's still bothering me. It's the sagely tag that made me first pause. It gets me everytime.

I really do wonder what she has planned for Snape.

I really am very excited to read the presentation and hear your thoughts in their entirety (though I have heard some of them, because you have posted extensively on them since HBP).

I have waffled back and forth, but the main thought I have is that he is going to redeem himself, perhaps at the very last possible moment, before a noble death. I'm not certain, but it seems like it might be a JKR thing to do. Then again, she does like to twist things about and figure out ways to surprise even the most diehard fan...
