And yes.... it is finished.

The new Potter book is amazing and there are many, many reasons why. But I don't want to make the mistake of being the spoiler to whomever of you has not read the book. So go read it yourself.

Here's my theory that Snape is not evil (I'm not giving it away - this was developed prior to this book):
1. Rowling names most of her adult characters after their character type, or some other descriptor.
2. To go "snape hunting" is to go after a prey that is imaginary or fake.
3. Ergo Snape must be a red herring.

So there....
