But let’s play an alternate ending/ thought experiment — say Harry didn’t end up in the Shrieking Shack that evening. Or better still, Voldy just Avada Kedavra’d Snape like the self respecting dark lord that he is…

Voldy still throws the ultimatum, Harry still walks to his death, and Dumbledore still pulls a Martix style “do you think that’s food you’re eating” talk in the dream King’s Cross. Only difference is we never find an explicit reason to suddenly fall in love with Snape after hating him for six books.

Maybe some smarter fans connect the dots. Maybe some of us don’t. But Harry would have come up with a slightly better name for his kid — and that’s worth the omission, no?
