Re: If Severus is nuanced, so is Lily

Hello, Pearlette. (I have read the responses below, but would like to return to your post.) I am a Snape fan, and I hope Lily isn't a bitch. But I am confused, and don't "get" her.
I'm an old woman, and see young Snape (at the time of the Werewolf Incident) as a deeply hurt and angry child, but I don't expect a young girl as Lily to understand that, or to help him, where the adults around him has failed. But they had supposedly been close friends for several years, thoug they might have drifted apart - so why isn't she more interested in his version of the story? You write "I can se, what JKR was trying to do..." Would you mind expanding this? What do you think, JKR was trying to show us, considering Lily (and Snape, of course).
