Spoiler: Thanks for thinking of me! I was totally stoked that Snape turned out to be an all right guy, and *gasp!* a soft heart. I think perhaps the masterstroke of brilliance in this book on Rowling's part is her ability to make her characters so amazingly human. Certainly, we have characters representative of epic hero archetypes, but at the same time she balances out those ideas with incredible humanity--Dumbledore is a prime illustration of this, as is Snape, as is Harry.
Oh, and Molly Weasley is amazing...though I wish Rowling had killed off Percy instead of Fred.
