I do have to say this though. SPOILER
[spoiler]The death at the end of the 4th book was a complete and utter shock. I know he was a very background character but the sudden abruptness of it just made me bawl. The death at the end of the 5th book had so much hype that I wasn't as affected when it happend, which was unfortunate as I did like the character. The 6th book's death, while not entirely suprising, I didn't guess who would and how it would happen, because I find no joy in guessing as I feel it ruins the surprise for me. This one disturbed me not so much because of the people involved but the circumstances :\ He trusted Snape through and through... often as I have put my faith in people who have let me down in a much less fatal way.... I didn't cry as hard as I did when Cedric died... but this one has depressed me.[/spoiler]
Yeah...
[spoiler] I was actually incrediably shocked when Snape performed the unforgivable curse and killed him. I really thought...even from reading the beginning of the book and learning that Snape was in contact with Voldemort and the Death Eaters that there would be some weird twist in the end where Snape saved the day. I think I actually sobbed when I read the words "Avada Kedavra" coming from Snape. I actually l iked Snape...and there's nothing that makes me cry in a book more is that when a character you like does something unforgivable to you. I still think...from all the foreshadowing in the other books that there's something about Snape...and Dumbledore was right to trust him[/spoiler]
