Back last summer when I was first getting acquainted with Snape, er, Harry Potter fandom, I read some comments comparing Snape's Lily to Dante's Beatrice. So I went back and reread the Commedia and Vita Nuova. Here is the Reader's Digest Super-Condensed version (4 volumes on 1 page) of Dante's journey for those of you who haven't read it.

(BTW, I said Snape's Lily advisedly--I don't think it's the same as Jo's. But then Dante's Beatrice may have had equally little to do with that girl who died in her twenties.)
