QUOTE : under his robes, this time, the sight does not seem shell-less or ugly. Fudge is repelled by the “ugly mark” on his arm, not by Snape. The ugliness is not in Snape anymore; it is on his surface, evident in the Mark that shows the growing terror he’s been enduring all year in private and the terror that is coming to all of them soon, whether they deny it or not. The self that has grappled with this truth and prepared to accept the consequences is not ugly; it is brave.
