Professor Snape

Snape is by far one of the most misunderstood characters in Harry Potter. He was horribly portrayed in the movie and the books. There is such a deep story to him that is never going to be sufficiently told. So much pain, so much stress and so much put on him that we don't see. Someone please tell me I'm not the only one that doesn't see the deeper lying story.
his wand... It's my wand now.

as for the wand.... I love it.
No one has ever been able to convince me that Snape was really a "hero" or a "good guy", or whatever. They guy was a jerk to a kid because he was in a position of authority to take it out on him for the sins of his father. I won't get into it here, but I will say that I've seen all the stuff about him and his great love for L.P. And I say it still doesn't excuse his horrid behavior. It's our choices that make us what we are, after all, at least in JKR's own words within these books.
