harry potter and the half blood prince - WITH SPOILERS

<< < (33/33)

trolley:
I would argue that the big "sort-everything-out conversation" is as much a convention as the "frustrating-lack-of-sort-everything-out conversation". I think JK has given both enough backstory and history that it's rational for them not to kiss and make up. Even if the original reason for dislike is gone, enough has passed that they can't just make up.

heretic:
that's what i just said, i didn't mean the make-everything-better conversation is bad, i meant when it is obvious what to say and they just don't.
but that wrap up conversaion is pretty annoying too.
like i've said before, she's a good storyteller, shitty writer

Well, Alan Rickman is perfect as snape.  I think the sitcom-type BS is mostly on Snape's end, he hated Harry's father.

heretic:
with good cause, remember how harry's father treated him? after harry saw that he could have gone to snape and said "now i understand why you hated my father, he was a bully and treated you terribly, but i'm not my father, i'm not like him." and the healing could begin. personally, i don't like harry. not much at all. i read the book smore for the world JK created, not the characters or the good Vs. Evil conflict.

deborah:
i think you're oversimplifying the conflict between harry and professor snape.  on snape's end, he hates harry because of the crap harry's father and friends did to him, which is ridiculous, because harry's the kid.  plus snape obviously has some evil in him, to have joined the death eaters in earnest initially.  
then there's harry, who has this adult, this professor, who has been spitefully mean to him without cause for four plus years before harry finds out what his father did to snape, and even if harry was inclined to mend the fences, snape was so busy goading sirius into doing something stupid (like going to the ministry of magic and getting killed) that it wouldn't surprise me a bit if harry blamed him for his godfather's death.
also, book five's version of harry is, i think, a relatively truthful representation of what a teenager going through puberty is like.  there's no rhyme or reason to the emotional and physical changes; harry's acting like a typical irrational snot-nosed teenager.
i found it a little unbelievable that harry would have settled down the way he did in book six - for the most part, he was acting in a much more mature and adult fashion, especially in comparison to book five.
and now that snape has killed dumbledore and fled without any explanation, there doesn't seem to be any reason for harry to think about reconciling with him.  after all, snape has been associated with those responsible for his parents' murders, and has now committed murder himself.
if i were harry, i'd probably unconditionally loathe professor snape too.
