<p>I'm proud to say that I was right about the Prince's identity. I really, really liked that it was Snape. Overall, I thought the book was brilliant--but god, I can't deal with Evil!Snape. The whole thing seems like a such waste of the most enigmatic character of the series. I refuse to believe that this is all there is to it. I'm clinging to every theory I can find, and I've read some plausible ones, but right now it's not looking good. More on that in my livejournal: <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/__gingerbread/25818.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.livejournal.com/users/__gingerbread/25818.html</a>.</p>
<p>This is the place where disillusioned Snape fans rant. Let's commiserate together in these dark times. Please tell me I'm not alone here.</p>
<p>Okay, I'm going to leave now and get started on my dissertation, Loving Severus Snape: An Impassioned Defense of a Flawed (But Not Evil) Man. Clearly I'm dangerously nearing the edge of sanity with this one.</p>
