If you want to see it, you're welcome to read it -- it's not great literature, but kind of fun, and oh my, does it highlight my inner romantic! <BR/><BR/>Interesting thought about the Jedi scene. I hadn't thought about that. Vader, great villain though he was, was ultimately redeemable. I don't see that happening with Voldemort -- just not enough human left in him, as Hagrid helpfully pointed out early on. So I think you're onto something here: Voldemort is more like the emperor, and Snape could tip the balance in the fight by switching sides (or showing he's been on the right side all along...surprise!). <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the nice comments on the Snape poems. I haven't looked at them in ages, but I remember feeling that they were still rough and needed definite work...I just haven't gotten back to them. Maybe I should dust them off again and think about doing that. Or even try my hand at a few more poems as we wait! Thanks for sending the link to the HP poetry site the other day too...Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589856495993730380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20806366.post-44644929901420644432007-07-03T00:14:00.000-04:002007-07-03T00:14:00.000-04:00Oooh, very cool. And definitely interesting that ...Oooh, very cool. And definitely interesting that you placed the confrontation on the astronomy tower! I so appreciate the notion of worrying about fictional characters. Something I'm afraid I do quite a lot of! But fantastic writers like Rowling make it so easy... <BR/><BR/>And the killing thing is troublesome too. I usually find it disappointing when one of the "good guys" kills somebody, though in this instance Voldemort's demise seems a necessary component to a satisfactory ending. Perhaps some sort of moment akin to the climactic confrontation between Luke and his father in <B>Return of the Jedi</B>, with Snape, like Darth Vader, ultimately tipping the balance as a result of Harry's compassion...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, that's really neat that you wrote your own ending, and what a perfect time to happen upon it again! And I went back and read those Snape poems again, and I really do like them, especially the ending of your "good Snape" poem, which is such a perfect metaphor considering how deeply the mysterious textbook is entwined with the threads of Harry, Dumbledore and Snape in book six...Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07191855305749074736noreply@blogger.com
