something interesting about snape's death

**akim6890** · July 23rd, 2007, 08:38

well im not sure how many people realized but it hit me later when i was thinking about it
when snape dies and harry is by his side
after harry collects snape's memories snape says something of "look at me" and i thought at first he wanted some kind of redemption or to tell harry that he was good but then i realized he just wanted to see lily's eyes for the last time because harry had lily's eyes and snape loved lily yada yada yada

also i think that cover is the last scene between voldemort and harry when he kills him
i think voldemort is about to die
and harry is reaching for the elder wand when its flying through the air going to the "master it would not kill" it almost looks likes they're surrounded by death eaters cuz it looks like the people are hooded but i guess they could just be silhouettes idk but thats my theory on the cover

i just thought the snape thing was interesting

way to ruin it for people that havent read the book yet!!!

snape was one of the best characters jk ever created. Do you think she always planned for snape to fall in love with lily?

argh yes your cover(american one!!) has that duel or whatever on it, but the english one has harry ron and hermione falling out the vault. ive read this in a couple of other threads, otheres assuming theyre right about the cover.

i think it was hinted in the 6th book, when harry went into snapes memories, and lily tried to stick up for him. but i cant think of anything else..

to be fair if you haven't read the book and didn't want know what happened you wouldn't come on to a forum about harry potter? thats just stupid! so really if any1 reads this and then gets upset its their own fault!

oh and yeah the thing about lilly's eyes i wondered what he wanted to say but as soon as you pointed out that he said look at me i knew why! wow thanks...

It would have been a bit strange, though, since everyone said Harry looked exactly like James, except for his eyes.
But otherwise, it would have been fun!

JKR had said that Harry's eyes being like Lily's were important to the last book.

And untill I read that sentence I didn't realise why!!

I have to admit, this detail was so small and quick that I almost missed it. But its amazing that something we've pondered on since JKR told it was significant has been answered with those simple yet important and effective three words.
