Right now that aligns him with Voldemort (apparently), but if he decideshis interests are better served turning against him, I'm sure he would. I don't think the Order would ever take him back, though (unless your Obi-Wan theory plays out, but I hope it doesn't -- it's been done before, obviously).<BR/><BR/>Here's food for thought, though: What if Neville is really the "Chosen One" of the prophesy? Hints have been dropped, after all... I don't really think he is, but it's interesting to think about.Keith Watthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177678419289646175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828300.post-1134105097316875002005-12-08T22:11:00.000-07:002005-12-08T22:11:00.000-07:00My friends and I have a theory about how Rowlings ...My friends and I have a theory about how Rowlings might prove Snape is really still working for the order. We call it "pulling an Obi Wan." You know, when Obi Wan tells Vader in the first Star Wars (the real first Star Wars, not the follow-up first), that striking him down will only make him stronger. Not sure how that would work for wizards, exactly, but we've found bits and pieces of evidence that could give readers enough to work with. Which was fun of Rowlings to do, in case Snape does turn around again.<BR/><BR/>My personal feeling is that Snape is on Snape's side. <BR/><BR/>I'm very curious to see how she'd going to wrap it all up.<BR/><BR/>Great deduction on the Harry as Everyman. I completely agree. I'd love to read what you come up on the phenomenom. I've been rereading the books with that in mind, and I keep coming back to the relatability of readers to Harry and the fascination with the wizarding world and how it is still a part of our own reality, but also distinct from it. No other fantasy world has ever pulled that off successfully, and she does it quite brilliantly. <BR/><BR/>Cheers!C. Jane Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00131009339900981548noreply@blogger.com
