145. Honestly, I like Snape as a character because I understand what I think JKR was going for with him. I think pretty much every single character in the whole series is badly communicated through messy and disorganized storytelling, but I actually think what JKR ultimately did with (to?) Snape was kind of ingenius. By turning him into a pawn of Dumbledore (who, incidentally, I view as the real villain of the books, as absolutely NOTHING he did was necessary until he created the necessity -- he was just playing some immense and sociopathic game with EVERYONE), JKR made Snape into more of a tragic antihero than a flat, boring, cruel, one-dimensional cookie-cutter villain. I disliked him as a character until book 6, and only really LIKED him when she did that and granted him depth.

And yes, he was cruel. He was not a nice guy. He was also pretty deeply broken and being manipulated on an unimaginably disturbing level. Essentially, he gave as good as he got from the people pulling his strings. The metaphor is oversimplifying things somewhat, but he really is a bit like a pitbull that's been forced into too many fights and just snaps at EVERYTONE now.

Liking a character is not the same as approving of his actions or motivations. I like Snape because I think he's ultimately the best-written and most complex character in the books. He interests me. Traitors have always interested me. I kind of want to poke him with a stick and see what happens. :D

Seconded, about Dumbledore. I hate how much hate Snape gets and Dumbledore is still the effing messiah.

145: This. Plus, DD was TERRIBLE at reading people. A few traitors sneaked into Hogwarts right under his nose, he was sure Sirius was too mature to be baited by Snape (yeah, right)...
And if he didn't want Harry looking for the DH's, why even bring them to his attention, so that he'd get distracted while looking for the Horcruxes?

That bugs me too, especially Dumbledore never once thinking that Sirius might be innocent when they tossed him in Azkaban (my friend and I have long rants about that hehe). I read that as a total plot contrivance by JKR though. I know theres a distinction between blaming a character or blaming the author, and there are certain cases of DD's ignorance that read more as plot device than genuine character flaw.
