About Snape/Black specifically-- one thing that relationship has going for it (from Snape's or Black's perspective) is that it really isn't possible for either of them to disappoint the other. They don't like each other, and they don't respect each other, and they don't care what the other thinks of them. In other words, there's nothing to lose. It's a risk-free relationship, in a way.
I agree with most of this, but I do think it's possible to respect your enemy. It's nothing I can see either man admitting, but I could see admiring tenacity secretly.
It's just a real bummer Sirius is no longer around for the ride down this bumpy road.
I've gone ahead and added you to the list. My apologies for not including you. Again, thanks for coming here and adding your thoughts :-)
