The Great Snape Debate Will Soon Be Over...

Ooooh, I'm all a-quiver with anticipation...

Snape’s Secrets

You’re such a sniper, Severus,
Snarky and severe,
A sibilant and solitary snake,
And yet your adversarial
Status is unclear.
To write you off now would be a mistake.

The wisest and the cleverest
Fans remain unsure.
Your sympathies, as shrouded as your skin,
Still spark debates, but Harry will
Soon discover your
Intentions. Are you deeply steeped in sin?

A soldier for the shadowed lord,
Secretly a spy?
A sour scapegoat, surly and yet sworn
To strive against the sinister?
You are never shy
In showing certain starring students scorn.

Will you be seen as bad, deplored
For betraying trust?
Perhaps you will stand stalwartly and earn
A medal from the Minister.
Will you bite the dust?
It won’t be long at all until we learn!

Ooh, I love this! So playful and such fun. Such stunningly snarky sentences.

We will indeed know soon! Isn't that weird to contemplate?

Hehe! I love alliteration overload... And it is indeed bizarre to think how soon all these long-pondered questions will be answered!
