i thought .. all these years .. that we were
protecting him for her . FOR LILY .we have protected him because it has been essential to teach him , to raise him , to let him try his strength . meanwhile , the connection between them grows ever stronger , a parasitic growth : sometimes i have thought he suspects it himself . if i know him , he will have arranged matters so that when he does set out to meet his death , it will truly mean the end of voldemort .
you have kept him alive so that
he can die at the right moment ?don't be shocked , severus . how many men
and women have you watched die?lately , only those whom i could
not save. you have used me.meaning ?
i have spied for you and lied for you , put myself in mortal danger for you . everything was supposed to be to keep lily potter's son safe . now you tell me you have been raising him like a pig for slaughter — !?
but this is touching , severus . have
you grown to care for the boy , after all ?for him !? expecto patronum !
after all this time ?
ALWAYS.
