[QUOTE="MaxKaladin, post: 1593795, member: 1196"] Well, [spoiler]I'd always had a secret, inexplicable like for Snape. It's starting to look like that was justified. James Potter was a mean, arrogant jerk -- a typical jock in my experience. I'd wondered about him when the whole quiddich thing came up in the first movie*. Snape was evidently no saint either, but it sounds like he's doing pretty good to have turned out as well as he has. I suppose I ought to condemn Snape more strongly than that but I have an automatic soft spot for the "picked on nerd" type. I never really liked Malfoy, though I did feel a bit sorry for him when we saw his dad in the 2nd movie. I'm starting to wonder what the relationship with Voldemort was like. I'd always wondered why Voldemort went after the Potters. What was so special about them that he needed to take them out? I wonder if it was nothing more than payback for James Potter being a supreme jerk to Voldemort in their past. (I'm not clear on Voldemort's chronology but I have the impression he was a contemporary of Jame and Lilly Potter.) It also makes me think about the scene in the shrieking shack in a different light. It would seem odd that Snape was so intent on catching the guy who had supposedly killed Potter in light of this new information. Then again, I suppose Black was no nicer than Potter so he might have been just wanting to see someone who had been such a jerk to him back in jail. Of course, I start to look on the instance in the first book where Snape tries to save Potter during the quiddich match in a new light. I think there is more to Snape's character than meets the eye. * In fact, I've remarked to some of my friends on more than one occasion that I think its a wonder Harry has turned out as nice as he has considering what he has had to go through with the Dursleys. It looks like he has even more bad heritage to overcome. [/spoiler] [COLOR=Yellow]Note: Added a BUNCH of comments during the edit.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
