Among convincing evidence that he is in fact good is that even once he supposedly blows his cover and publicly joins the bad guys, he STILL doesn't take Harry to TMR. He had disarmed him and could easily have levicorpused him along, or bound him and could have easily dragged him back with him. He had plenty of help, and no help nearby for Harry. It would have been too easy.

Furthermore, his attitude toward Harry during the persuit-still giving pointers(even tauntingly) and his as his only strong reaction was to being called a coward... Leads me to believe that:
1. Harry's opinion actually mattered to him in some way.
2. He considered his actions to have demonstrated extreme courage. His was certainly the most hazardous post in the Order, and we don't know the half of it.

I, too noticed the absence of the green flash and odd flying over the rampart, etc...Fishy...AD's body is never seen again after its discovery below the tower. Not ever at tha funeral.

So if I HAD to guess, I'd say that Snape is still on the right side, however, there is one hangup:
Here's the trouble with Snape not killing AD... He made the unbreakable vow to do Malfoy's job if he failed. SO, while I'm sure he's capable of saying the killing curse while silently casting any other spell, to do so would be to break the unbreakable vow.

It's even possible that he did kill him and is still good, as others have already pointed out. $.02

I was also puzzled that Snape left Harry alone. Voldemort ordered him not kill Harry, but he could have used a hex ar a jinx to cause pain in hatred. He didn't. And that warning was also fishy. It was obvious Snape was giving him that advice, in the hope that Harry would use it.

I agree with Siddhu.


Offtopic: I love your siggy. Squall rocks my world. I might buy Kingdom Hearts 2 just because he's in it.

I actually made that sig for him, I got to edit it a little and put him name in there somewhere.

I’m going to get Kingdom Hearts 2 for sure. And after seeing Advent Children, I’ve come to the conclusion that Cloud could own Squall any day.

So, engrossing plots, rich character development, epic adventures and outstanding graphics seem like a waste of time to you…

And the millions of people who buy the games. That and all the critics who hail the series to be one of the greatest ever.

Yeah, some people find games where you actually have to think, quite hard to play.

PG said he didn’t understand them, he didn’t understand how to play them. Difficult learning curve for some…

If you can explain to me properly then yeah, and of course critics can be mistaken but when something is critically acclaimed, then you can’t deny there’s something good about it. It’s like saying the Godfather part II wasn’t good.

What do you mean 'we'? Who said only a few people like role-playing games like Final Fantasy? Like pockets said, it requires skill to play games like that. You don't just pick your weapon and shoot everybody you see in RPGs. It requires the right tactics and strategy. And patience.
Playing an RPG is like watching a movie or reading a book. They have much more interesting storylines than other games.
You're just saying it's a waste of time becuase you don't have the skill to play them. You probably haven't played many of them. Or maybe you're one of those types who play a game for about five minutes then quit if nothing interesting happens.

Hey!
How come Squall get's a crappy pic, with his face bleeding?
I'm a Squall fan. I just love his gunblade! Smile
