It's very easy to consider Snape an untrustworthy character; Rowling spends an awful lot of time through the series setting him up as a very unlikeable character. He's unpleasant to the hero, play favourites, is unpleasant...read more

The fact is Snape is a double agent. But for who? He's either on the side of good and playing Voldemort for the fool or he's playing Dumbledore and he is truly a villain. There are a lot of questions we want answere...read more

Without a doubt, I trust Snape. May it please the court and members of the jury, I will now present my case. Dumbledore pronounced more than once that Snape was doing work for the Order, and that he and Sirius were n...read more

I want more than anything in the world to NOT trust Snape. His character has been an antagonistic to Harry from the get go. I think J. K. Rowling is wonderful at planning out these books out. I know that Dumbledore trusted...read more

Trust Snape to be in Book 7 what he has been throughout the whole series: Harry's true antagonist. Whose side he is on remains to be seen, though there are indications of where his "true loyalty" lies. Quirrel/Voldemor...read more

I know Snape killing Dumbledore was probably the single worst thing he could have done and I don't deny that he's a coward but that doesn't mean he's evil. Everything Snape has ever done has been in his own best interes...read more

In chapter 2 of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" we saw Snape make an unbreakable vow with Narcissia to help Draco in "his task" and explained to Bellatrix how he was hoodwinking Dumbledore. It is my belie...read more

This is going to be a very short article. In all the articles I have read, here or anywhere else, seems to miss one very important point about Dumbledore. I know this is an article about whether or not Snape is trustwort...read more

I think that Harry is going to be tested by his ability to forgive or otherwise call a truce with Snape. Maybe there is someone or something dear to Snape, some human side, that we haven't seen yet. Kind of like Darth Vade...read more

Snape is to be trusted. Sure he has been awful to Harry in all the books right from the get-go, but could that mean that he's trying to protect him from something? Snape is an odd person. He is in the Order, but yet is ...read more

I trust Snape 100%. I mean he has been helping Harry, and Dumbledore from my perspective. Snape saved Harry at the Quidditch match. Me and my friend have a theory that Snape only told Voldemort half of the prophecy. The on...read more

I trust Snape totally even though he killed Dumbledore. Dumbledore trusted Snape to the very end and so will I. Many readers will remember that in the first book, Snape saved Harry's life from Professor Quirrel/Voldemort...read more
