On Friday, after a fan asked Rowling why Harry Potter named one of his sons after Severus Snape, the author replied, "Snape died for Harry out of love for Lily . Harry paid him tribute in forgiveness and gratitude."
Rowling's answer set off a debate among Potter fans, as Snape has long been considered one of the story's most polarizing figures.
"I've got to say this: you lot have been arguing about Snape for years," Rowling wrote on Twitter after discussing Snape. "My timeline just exploded with love & fury yet again. Never change." As fans continued to question the decision to have Potter name his child after Snape, Rowling added, "There's a whole essay in why Harry gave his son Snape's name, but the decision goes to the heart of who Harry was, post-war."
She later elaborated on Snape as a character. "Snape is all grey. You can't make him a saint: he was vindictive & bullying. You can't make him a devil: he died to save the wizarding world," she wrote. "In honoring Snape, Harry hoped in his heart that he too would be forgiven. The deaths at the Battle of Hogwarts would haunt Harry forever."
After taking a brief break, Rowling returned to Twitter to discuss Snape further. "Snape didn't die for 'ideals,'" she wrote. "He died in an attempt to expiate his own guilt. He could have broken cover at any time to save himself, but he chose not to tell Voldemort that the latter was making a fatal error in targeting Harry. Snape's silence ensured Harry's victory."
And as for why Potter wanted to honor Snape, Rowling wrote, "Harry chose to perpetuate the names of the two who had nobody in their families to do so." Potter's named his child, Albus Severus Potter.

This morning I've been thinking a lot about the appeal of simple dichotomies in our messy world, then you raise Snape! Highly appropriate.

Snape was a bully who loved the goodness he sensed in Lily without being able to emulate her. That was his tragedy. twitter.com/maddiekayray/s…
Snape didn't die for 'ideals'. He died in an attempt to expiate his own guilt. He could have broken cover at any time to save himself 1/2
but he chose not to tell Voldemort that the latter was making a fatal error in targeting Harry. Snape's silence ensured Harry's victory. 2/2
