yay! somebody noticed the lilies! in the picture severus leaves harry to go to a DE meeting, even though voldemort knows hie's been spying for dumbledore. severus is stubborn and his guilt and his desire for redemption is stronger than his will to stay alive. he seeks redemption for the deaths of the potters, though of course for james he couldn't care less - that's the reason for the lilies in the picture... sorry to have bored you and sorry for the late reply, I stupidly forgot to check the postings...
