albus. harry more or less forgives albus the moment he realizes what the plan has been all along. he accepts his death while simultaneously learning of the betrayal -- through this he is able to process it in a different manner than having time to truly recognize what has occurred. for better or for worse, there are many areas in which harry and albus were alike -- and where they differed ( an understanding of power and the desire to hold it ) there remains lessons to be learned. love of power ended up contributing to the greatest heartaches of albus dumbledore’s life but it also drove him towards great accomplishments and the understanding that sometimes one must put aside personal feelings for the sake of the world. -- albus always acted in the interest of many, sometimes at the cost of those he loved. greatness lies in his ability to do so.
severus. personal vendettas are not easily established in his mind, and the moment he learns the full tales of severus snape harry is drawn in by the heroic measures this man took to preserve a part of what he loves. he acted in the memory of the person he loved, motivated purely by an individual which had touched his life so dearly and while this view of the world was much more personal and smaller in scale, it still led to great feats. it is a reminder to not take anyone at face value, to never take for granted the struggles which could be under the surface. -- severus loved completely and sacrificed for the protection of the one he loved. greatness lies in his actions and movi
a balance is to be found in the two names together.
