I wonder whether Alan Rickman can save face for Snape in Deathly Hallows.

He's changed the way many (but not all) people view Snape. Granted the films aren't canon the way the books are but they do tend to skew perceptions. I just wonder whether seeing how he handles the last film will make anyone hate Snape/Lily less. Or perhaps convince anyone Snape wasn't a hapless, hopeless, pathetic, er, a lovesick dolt. Thoughts?


As always, if inappropriate let me know and I'll delete this post.

Listening to the “Snape and Slytherin” discussion on Snapecast today I am moved to make an appeal for ideas and viewpoints on the larger issues raised about Slytherin and the houses of Hogwarts: how they define and portray the variation of our inherent qualities.

The issue of the nature of the Houses, their qualities, and their relative goodness or propensity for evil… this is quite muddied in Canon, as the panel skillfully revealed. DH seems to again oversimplify and paint the Slytherins as the bad house, with only a faint nod in the direction of Snape's redemption...(grrr DON'T get me started!)
