J.K. Rowling: Sorry I Killed Snape
Maybe she should have thought twice before murdering our favorite professor.

Oh, NOW she apologizes.
After months, years even, of agonizing over the death of beloved Harry Potter character Professor Snape, J.K. Rowling has apologized for offing him.
OK, here it is. Please don't start flame wars over it, but this year I'd like to apologise for killing (whispers)... Snape. *runs for cover*

You better hide.
Twitter had mixed reactions to Rowling’s apology –– and quite honestly, how are we supposed to take this news? So. Many. Emotions.
So @jk_rowling just apologized for killing Snape. Was it so hard to realize this was a bad decision BEFORE she offed him? pic.twitter.com/GN5Ti79odO
