I wonder what it will mean that Snape is indebted & bonded to James, since James saved his life. At the end of PoA, Dumbledore tells Harry that Wormtail and he (Harry) are bonded because Harry spared Wormtail’s life. That means that James and Snape are equally bonded. Perhaps that’s why Snape’s always (or at least for the most part) tried to save Harry. That makes me question my idea that Snape’s impetus for doing so is more or less rooted in his feelings for Lily. I guess I’ll just have to give it some thought…and, of course, wait for the last book.
