While I'm pointing out great articles at Sightings, here's one about Harry Potter: "Severus Snape and the Transparency of Evil."Some of you may have finished the final installment of the Harry Potter series, so you may know the final word on Severus Snape and his loyalties. If you do, don't spoil it for others!
This article makes the important theological point that no one is really purely evil or purely good...we're all a mix of both and we need to remember this when we think about others and ourselves. The character of Severus Snape gives readers of the Harry Potter series an opportunity to explore this ambiguity that is at the core of human nature.
