I just posted this to the
snapecast listserv that the cast use for "business", but in light of the big reveal accompanying DH this summer, I thought it might be a good idea to post it here for posterity. Otherwise, I know I'll forget exactly what I was thinking in the months leading up to the End.
*******************
Someone posted some spoilers supposedly revealed by someone at Scholastic, and I took a peek to see what was said about Snape. Whether or not these spoilers are in fact authentic is immaterial as they suddenly got me thinking. What if we've all been totally wrong about Snape all along? What if Rowling does something nobody around here expected.
I wasn't a super Snape fangirl yet when HBP came out, but the revelation that Snape was the HBP and that HE would actually kill Dumbledore totally threw me for a loop. (How many of you saw that coming before you read the book?) What if Rowling does something like that again, and Snape's motivation and actions and destiny are something none of us predicted despite all our theorizing and analysis...
Man alive. I don't know if I could handle it.
