As to the "Heathcliff" comparison, I actually wish you were right. But - as Nemesister pointed out to me in an earlier discussion, Rowling actually quotes Emily Bronte directly in "The Prince's Tale", with the three children - Sev, Lily and Petunia - in the roles of Heathcliff, Cathy, and Hindley respectively. It's practically word for word. And Lily's similarities to Catherine Earnshaw are pretty striking, too.

You really should read "The Little Prince".

And I don't think Severus's story is either consoling or complete. I think the last two books of this series are, quite frankly, badly written! But we'll probably have to agree to differ there.
