Don't আপনি think that Snape would have wanted to die after his task was accomplished, so he just let Nagini bite him? (Remember: he wanted to die, but instead decided to help protecting Harry; that was his reason for living...)

So true! *passes the tissue box*

He's the tragic hero. He would have wished to die as his life has no longer any meaning once Harry had definitively won over Voldemort. Unless another goal was presented to him - like being Hogwarts Headmaster, I could imagine Albus in his portrait telling him 'Severus, আপনি have to protect our youth now, like আপনি protected Harry' with a twinkle in his eyes, আপনি know Albus. But that belongs to fanfiction. Whatever the way he died, he died a meaningful death and this was his only true consolation and redemption in the end.

I think thats a good piont ladynottingham I think he needing things to keep him going.

Yeah, I think that too. But I came to the conclusion, that he, probably, pretend his death. I read also between the lines, where Snape kicks out Harry of his knowledge and memories like with a door slam. Honestly, Rowling...always told how intelligent and clever he is. He never trusted someone, he has invented a lot of potions and spell, so why the Merlin should he die like a dumbass, knowing his task wasn't fullfilled yet? It's a little ridiculous to me, how the book is written, there are a lot of loopholes. I guess that part with the door slam in the book, reveals that he was not dead, perhaps. He did not want that harry sees that he is still alive. He did precautions, maybe he drunk some healing অথবা resurrection potions which he invented , he is smart enough to know that he walks into death risk as he goes to voldemort. Snape is a great and powerfull wizard, he would never die this way Rowling made us believe. Yes, why has he not defended himself? Cause he eventually wanted to fake his death, to go away...? (sounds like a coward...but it isn't meant that way) ... to left all this sadness behind him? Well, what would Snape do if everyone knows that he has survived? He would never tell his darkest secret to anyone, he is the murderer of Dumbledore, a Death Eater....in the eyes of the wizarding world. He would be sentenced to Azkaban, I don't think he was eager to lead his life in a jail, maybe even sentenced to death. And why was he never mentioned again, a burial অথবা honoured দ্বারা Harry? This social Harry...That's really weird... I mean, there is a man, lies dead অথবা dying in the shrieking shack who has always protected you, fought for you, sacrificed his life for you....and Harry just let him rot like a piece of meat?? He never came back to bury অথবা honor him... he never mentioned Snapes task to his friends. I said, a weird book... no complete conclusion, to many loopholes and so on.... অথবা easily... he wanted to die... but exactly that part of the book, I really can't believe... maybe it is cuz I really hope that he is still alive (in my thoughts he surely is, anyway) ... no one knows the real end... and there's still a secret which Alan and Rowling are keeping about Snape.

snape wasnt ready to die and he was trying to get his memories to harry before nigini attacked him why do আপনি do think he was pleading wth voldemort to find harry... Because he wanted to tell harry wat he knew!

good point but I think he still could have stopped nagini

Good answer, I like it. But I still think that Snape shouldn't have let Nagini bite him he deserved another death - as a hero!

if snape could have he probably have revealed to voldemorte about his true loyalties before harry could after snape's death (during the confrontation between voldemorte and harry, the latter revealing snapes' loyalties then) and then who knows what would have happened to the story....i also think that snape KNEW that harry and hermione were in the shrieking shack with him and voldemorte and didnt want to risk their revealation before snape could give harry the information that later saved his life in the end....snape's life has been one tragic event after another, its sad, but a marvalous character in all the sense....he's the ultimate anti-hero!

aWESOME! I প্রণয় আপনি for these words! And I also think that Snape KNEW that Harry & Hermione were in the Shrieking Shack, I think that he knew even more...

who knows how much he did know? but i dont like pplz bashing snape and find his unrequirted প্রণয় for lilly crreepy অথবা whatever. i find his friendship with lilly and his প্রণয় for her pivtoal to his change of character and he never liked to be called a coward দ্বারা harry, sirius অথবা whoever....cuz he's anything BUT a coward, that man scarfriced everything, he হারিয়ে গেছে everything but still he went on

Perfect. :)

Thanks, I was worried about that. আপনি are always very friendly :)
