SPOILER ALERT! (hp7)

severus snape is my favorite character ^_^ he showed how true love really is. i feel so sad about how things went for him, but i think the point of his story is that no love goes wasted. like, maybe lily didn't become aware of his love for her, but he still found a way to show it- by protecting harry. even if he didn't like harry because he's james' son, he still held on because his love for lily is true. then.. dumbledore. well, it's nice to know that he isn't this totally perfect character with zero flaws. his desire for immortality showed that he is also like voldemort, only his means are different from his. and.. voldemort in the seventh book has more personality than voldemort in the first six books. he values something other than his own life, after all. i think the seventh book was able to give more dimension to most characters, even to fleur :) after reading the book, i felt sad because i know that there won't be any more books to come. okay, so maybe rowling will make an encyclopedia but harry's story was already given a closure, and i just feel sad because after seven years of the harry potter experience (i read the first two books in grade 5), i won't ever get the thrill of waiting for and wondering about what's gonna happen next. =(
