Harry Potter stuff! Visiting my sister!

( Quick visit to my sister's this past weekend: )

Oh snap, Snape!

And now, to the amazement of all, I shall mention another fandom besides BSG.

Okay, my S-I-L and I had an argument after reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I was fairly certain that Snape was still in the camp of the righteous. She was positive he's really Voldemort's man. My B-I-L, however, is surprisingly active in the HP fandom (he knew what fanfiction was!), and he pointed the way to a third option here.

Machiavelli's Half-Blood Prince

The author cites Machiavelli and chess moves and uses information about Roman generals (truly he has a dizzying intellect) to make a very persuasive argument... enough so that I am giving up on Snape as my secret good guy. *sniffs* But Snape! I ♥ you! (And I ♥ Alan Rickman too, but I had a secret fondness for Snape well before any of the movies were made.)

eta: That is just weird. I checked on OSC's website to see if he'd written anything new and guess what! He wrote about Snape! *mind boggles*
