How can a cowardly motivation count when he, at the end, was full of regret with his betrayl. A real dark wizard has no remorse." "I'd be pretty regretful too if my magic hand had a mind of its own and killed me," Vashti commented with a small smile. "But really, I think what it comes down to is exactly what betrayal Peter Pettigrew was regretful of. Was he really regretful of his betrayal of the Potters? Or was that regret Harry Potter talks about actually from the betrayal of his hand that probably made no indication previously that it would kill him if he ever did anything it - or, rather, Voldemort - didn't like? That, I guess, we can never honestly know, but in my opinion, whether he regretted the magic hand or his betrayal of the Potters, he was still a Dark Wizard when he died. If he really regretted betraying his friends, he would have acted on that remorse and changed his ways - but he never did."
Merlin, that was a bit longer than she had intended. SPOILER!!: The Snape discussion Quote:

Salander replied in even tones "He made a terrible mistake-- and he spent the rest of his life correcting that mistake. He had to play both sides for over a decade just to bring Voldemort down. Voldermort-- the deadliest and most powerful wizard of the time. Can you imagine how insanely dangerous that was? Instead of cowering away for his life and betraying his friends-- like Pettigrew-- Snape took the task of helping defeat Voldemort from within. If that isnt courage I dont know what you call it."

Looking at that way the boy grinned again the moment he spotted Salander speaking to him. ''Oh really?'' then he asked cheerfully ''I don't know what Severus Snape messed with but if he had been famous with his courage like you say it would be a common knowledge that he was a Gryffindor'' Quote:

Fact is, he WAS extremely brave, but he WAS a Slytherin as well."
Facts, Josh. Straighten them out.
Or open your mind.
Bam. Quote:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Maybe he was looking for trouble the Gryffindor boy was not sure but despite that thought he smirked at him and ''Believe me i know the popular traits of houses are not always the same for everyone but when it comes to Severus Snape i don't think you can claim that you know what kind of a person he was because you do not know him in person. Do you?''

In addition to being the Slytherin Head of House, and basically despised muggleborns, he helped Harry, Ron, and Hermione, a muggleborn, from the other Death Eaters. I guess that's something unforgivable your eyes, but remember, you never knew him either. so how do you judge a person you've never met?" Quote:

Like what that other kid was saying.
KTHXBAII.
Jake looked at Neptune again and smiled more to himself than anything.
To be honest... Jake didn't care one jot about Severus Snape right now. "And why can't we know what kind of person he was?" Vashti asked, looking over at the Gryffindor with a raised brow. "Just because we've never met him - you haven't either, I'd like to point out - doesn't mean we can't look back on history and figure out what kind of person he was by the events he was involved in and how he acted and reacted before, during, and after those events. That sort of thing can tell you what kind of person he or she is, even if you have never met them."
