Severus Snape was not a nice man
In the end he wasn't a bad one
It wasn't his conscience that turned him to good
I doubt that he knew that he had one
Lily he loved from the time that they met
Though she was as nice as can be
That she didn't love was a blow to his heart
And plain for the others to see
But for his love he was bad to the bone
A disciple of dark over light
His master destroyed the Lily he loved
And Snape knew that couldn't be right
So risking the ire of the worst that there was
He struggled to save Lily's eyes
Though they were within a muggle raised head
That he wished all his life to despise
If it wasn't for Snape then the fight was in vain
Though the good guys fought bravely and well
The dark one himself didn't know one great truth
Love's by far the most powerful spell!

I enjoed this very much! I adore your first verse, especially the fourth line of it. Snape is my favorite of all the Potterverse characters--him and Luna.

This is really very good.. I love the ending!
"The dark one himself didn't know one great truth
Love's by far the most powerful spell!"
Indeed, even Voldemort was deceived by Snape! And in the end LOVE WON! It reminds of the first book when Dumbledore told Harry that it was love that Quirrell and Voldemort could not bear.
Good work and thank you for writing, good luck in my contest. I have extended it if you would like to enter again, but in which case you will have to tell me the title of your entries either by IM or in your author's notes.

I must apologise, I entered this on the train from my phone where typing isn't the easiest and I omitted to put my other entry in the notes, I shall do so now.
I was also responsible for the tongue twisting tribute to Dobby who delighted in doing good deeds
