[edit] Your changes in Severus Snape
Regarding your recent edit [1] to Severus Snape, you changed:
Rowling likewise described the young Snape as insecure and vulnerable: "Given his time over again [Snape] would not have become a Death Eater, but like many insecure, vulnerable people he craved membership of something big and powerful, something impressive.[...] [H]e was so blinded by his attraction to the dark side he thought [Lily] would find him impressive if he became a real Death Eater."

I've reverted the change. The use of single brackets in a quote from someone or some writing indicates modifications to the original text. Rowling did not actually say the name "Snape", but rather said "he", which in the context of the original citation made sense; however, it would be difficult to parse out of context. This is remedied by replacing the "he" with "Snape", but single brackets are used to indicate the modification. Likewise, "[...]" indicates omissions, and "[H]e" indicates that the "H" was not capital in the original (because we are picking up the sentence halfway through). "[Lily]" is in brackets because, again, Rowling did not say "Lily" but rather said "she", and this is modified to make it easier to read in the Snape page. By removing the brackets and modifying the text, you are essentially falsifying the quote. Please be careful when editing a direct quote, and be mindful of the usual style rules for quoting, which include the use of single brackets. Magidin (talk) 14:12, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
