Question: Snape and Harry!?
Where you disappointed that Snape and Harry didn't reconcile in the last book!? I was!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
In some ways, yes, but it wouldn't have been true to JKR's writing style!. I believe Snape tried to make Harry understand, that in the face of death, he realized the error of his ways!. Harry matured a lot in the books and eventually was able to see Snape in a different light!. A full out reconciliation would have been too 'neat' and life's not like that!. JKR was really good at giving her characters flaws like holding grudges and having a hard time saying sorry!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I was a bit, but I think in a way, they did!.
Anything else probably would just turn out tacky!. The whole "The Prince's Tale" gives such insight into Snape's character that Harry could reconcile with the memory of him which is shown in Albus Severus haha!. And that chapter also shows that Snape did the best he could, to try and show compassion towards Harry, despite the fact he was the son of the woman he loves and another man!.

No, because there was atleast some understanding at the end!. I mean Harry ended up naming a child after him!. Snape had no real way to tell Harry why he was doing all this horrible stuff without blowing his cover to Voldemort!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't know!.!.!.I feel that there was!. That final look Snape gave Harry seemed like a beg to understand what Snape had to do and what he risked for love!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Snape died before they could reconcile, but they still kind of did!. Harry named his child Albus Severus, it wasn't reconcile but it was a sort of!.!.!. closure!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some what but, I think they reconciled the best they could!.!.!.!.I mean it could have been worse I suppose!. I think at least Harry was able to understand Snape which helped him see where Snape was coming from!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
