Ramblings from the 'goblinn

Not trying to, honestly. My point is more that what Jo's set up here in Book 7 is at odds with the rest of the series-- for an act to be brave, it has to more than Look brave-- the person has to have a choice, not be committing suicide or trying to assuage decades old guilt. I do find the Snape of earlier books brave, as I say in other replies through this thread. But her final handling of the matter undercuts a lot of it, and worse yet, her interviews to the time I wrote that post don't seem to recognize this fact.
