See, I really don’t want to argue like this about Severus, because I think he rocks. But if you drag Lily down to this level, then Severus comes too. Because he knew Harry had to die. For a whole YEAR. No, he didn’t like it, but he went along with it. So that makes him better than Lily’s shade … how, exactly? And Harry accepts it and doesn’t get angry at any of them, only has doubts about Dumbledore (which he then resolves). That’s why he welcomes his family of shades in the Forest and why he honours Severus at the end of the book.
The difference between Severus and Lily is that Severus protested Albus' plan for Harry while Lily only cheered Harry on. Had I been in Harry's place I would have wanted to see my mother protesting and raging against my soon-coming death, however ineffective such protest can be wrt the events.
The whole walk through the forest didn't work for me at all - though when I read it the first time it was because by that point I was too sick of Harry and just wanted him to die already.
