This one's kind of sad but it gives a whole new perspective on things.
By the way, if you can't guess my favorite character from the book by now . . .
Somewhere in the future, Harry learns where his parents have been buried. He, Ron and Hermione are going out to find the cemetery and pay their due respects. Coming up a hill, they see a figure far off in the distance and recognize it as Professor Snape. He looks a bit lost, perhaps wandering in thought, and pays his due respect to a certain grave. He kisses his fingers and puts them up to the grave, where there might be a picture. Then, he walks over to the grave right beside it and kicks a stone at it.
Puzzled by this behavior, the three wait until he's gone, then goes over to see who he was visiting. It turns out to be the grave of Lilly Potter, and there's been some damage where he kicked James' tombstone.
"I think we may know why he hates you so much," Hermione quietly says.
. . . understand? Oh, what a turn on things if Lilly had been an object of his affection in school, and he really hates James for taking her away, rather then that silly little trick that James and his friends played on him, wouldn't you agree?
