Everything Snape did for Dumbledore, he did for Lily. I think the last person Snape probably would've wanted knowing about his love for Lily would've been Harry but in the end, he managed to fulfill his mission, giving up his inner most secrets to a boy he despised in order to redeem himself. Learning about his undying love for Lily, which continued on long after she died (as was proven by his doe patronus) was one of the best moments in the book. What better way to reveal to Harry the truth behind Snape’s allegiance to Dumbledore than through the pensieve. Ok, many of us were hoping Snape would turn out to be on Dumbledore’s side and some of us even speculated on his feelings for Lily but I have to say, Rowling orchestrated this whole plot beautifully. I never expected that when I considered what might happen in the last book but it was easily one of the best moments in the entire series. It was an added bonus that for the first time he was able to speak with his parents. As relieving as it was that Harry did inevitably survive yet another killing curse, I must say the fact that he was able to make this death-walk without turning and running the other way just shows what a true hero he is. His parents, Sirius and Lupin were there to accompany him as he took those final steps towards death. Once he was in the presence of his departed family, Harry seemed to detach himself from the world he was about to leave behind. Sirius told him it was easier than falling asleep, which I'm sure made him feel only slightly relieved. But the most heartbreaking moment during this conversation was when he asked if it hurt to die. He got to see Sirius and Lupin looking younger and healthier than he'd ever seen them when they were alive. He got to say a proper farewell to Lupin, who had died only an hour or so ago. He used the stone in the ring to reawaken the dead and see Lily, James, Sirius and Lupin once more. Wishing for Ginny to see him and stop him from doing what he must do.Īfter making it through the school, stopping only to tell Neville to kill Nagini, he walked out onto the grounds towards the forest. Wishing he could see Ron and Hermione again. Wondering what it would feel like to die. Rowling did a beautiful job with this chapter, filling each page with Harry's thought processes. There were so many amazing moments in Deathly Hallows but the chapter that stands out most to me is "The Forest Again." This is the chapter in which Harry, having just learned that he must die in order to defeat Voldemort, accepts his fate and heads off to the forest.
