thistlechaserMostly a reminder to myself, ignore at will. Also, likely a spoiler (though guessed) to If You Are Prepared.
The writer quoted Jesus Christ Superstar in one of the earlier chapters. Early on in the story, I saw where this story is headed. To quote JCS:
"This Jesus must die."
But... but... but... She's setting up Snape as Judas, I bet. And in the last (and best, IMO) production of JCS (on PBS), Judas wasn't a bad guy. He loved Jesus and wanted to save him. And Snape loves Harry and wants to save him.
But both Harry and Jesus have/had to die...
Quote from the story (Snape is thinking):
"I see him differently. I, alone, remark the shadows that have taken up permanent residence under those eyes, which are not quite as bright as they once were. His cheeks are hollowed and his grin is not without a tinge of sadness. Those who love him look blindly past who he is to see the boy he was."
Those who loved Jesus killed him. (Please don't take me as a religious person, I'm not at all. I loved JCS, and it's mostly all I know about all this.) All these HP fictional (in-story) fans love Harry, but they're going to (indirectly) kill him. And in JCS no one saw the pain Jesus was in, EXCEPT FOR JUDAS. And in this story, Snape is the only one who is really seeing the truth with Harry.
GAH.
Maybe I won't sleep tonight and keep reading... if only tomorrow wasn't going to be a hell-day at work.
