boy!! wouldnt that be nice!!! ;) i wish i could say that ive learned from experience rather than learning far too many things the hard way !!!!! (i cant)
i *can* SO so SO relate to where snape is coming from tho.
i cant help but identify with his feelings of bitterness & loss (& most of all, with having to live with the consequences of the choices we make)
i know how it feels to want something you KNOW youre never going to have & whats more, to have to watch other ppl, ppl you really dislike (ok hate) having/not appreciating/maybe even squandering those things while you would kill to have even the slightest chance to be in their shoes.
should he move on & just forget about it? sure. does that mean he will? its doubtful.
personally, i always want to see someone like that to come into their own & be able to use their skills & talents to shine...
its sad that a lot of ppl in that situation are just too beat down to even bother trying.
altho i think with snape there was definitely a point where he DID want that (& he did have the talent for it) but circumstances were such that he was stuck paying for those bad choices & because of that, was never able to make as much of himself as his potential would have allowed... & im sure thats something he never forgets. :(
