Snape lived and died dedicated to Lily Evans and the promise he made to Dumbledore. He protected Lily’s son at all cost while despising Harry’s father. This roundtable with discuss in-depth Snape’s ethics or possible lack thereof including his treatment of Neville, Hermione and all non-Slytherins. Did the loss of Lily to his schoolboy enemy destroy his sense of fair play? Did his early years leave him with an inability to find happiness or was it his dedication to the dark arts? Was Severus Snape a truly ethical man forced to play the part of oppressive professor in order to keep secret his role as double-agent?
