That's very true. Although, there's probably something to be said for the shock value of seeing someone you killed as a ghost, rushing at you, whether you regret it or not.
Highlight for spoilers: *At the end of part 1, Snape is still very much alive, the trio has just burried Dobby, and Voldemort steals the Elder wand from Dumbledore's tomb (in a very creepy fashion, I must say.)*
Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it. And you may be right about Snape wanting to get ahold of Harry. *grin*
