As a nouveau half blood trying to pass himself off as the crème de la crème, and bestest Wizard ever, you could see why he’d hate the idea.
If Rowling was going to go for the cartoon schtick in the end (Snape-shaped hole), why not do the typical cartoon villain's deep-voiced (in Voldy's case, high, cold voiced) "Now it's personal" line? Everyone from Bugs Bunny to Megaduck has spouted that line and generations of kids believed and knew the best conflict was yet to come.
While I thought (and hoped) that Harry was wrong about him...
I thought that was how PS/SS was going to play out; then CoS, then PoA... I was waiting for that moment when Harry had to confront Snape. Silly me.
I enjoyed this chapter - there was still hope in my heart……
