Further thoughts on my main reaction:

I like JKR but I don't trust her around her characters *g*
The problem is, that she has everything set up in a way she *could* justify Snape's actions and still make him one of the good guys - the only question is if she wants to. Because letting him be one of the bad guys works as well.
And guessing what JKR plans to do is something I won't even try. Because for everything I get right, there are three things I didn't see coming.

So that's two to four or more years in Limbo. Oh dear.

I was staring at the page just couldn't believe it.
(And I did screech. Luckily I was the only person in the room.)

I'm sure I can make it to Glasgow, just tell me when it suits you best.

Oh man. I had to read that part six times to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me. I'm glad nobody was home to hear me shout "FUCK! NO WAY! FUCKING HELL!"

I was sitting there going: "She didn't. Oh no. She didn't. She can't... YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME" for about five minutes. While coninuing to read of course. *g*
