Gah. Holy crap, I just finished te book and ow there's this... your thinking echoes mine, really. I did wonder if they were setting up another deadly circle. I want Harry's son to go in Slytherin, just because. And damn it, Severus WAS brave, if hurt and misguided. He was a hero, and he loved, and he tried really hard to make things as right as he could.

Sorry, Snape fangirl over here still crying because he had to die. ;_;
