| | |  The fascinating Severus Snape
The Baltimore Sun has an interesting piece on Severus Snape, mainly discussing the character’s popularity, fate and moral ambiguity. The article also includes a list of ‘Five reasons to believe Snape is good (if not nice)’, as well as author Salman Rushdie’s theory regarding Snape. Quote:
"Severus Snape" on Google returns more than a half-million hits. A single blog-hosting site - LiveJournal.com - counts 390 communities and more than 400 users listing him as an interest, roughly the same number that list Harry Potter. He has songs written in his honor. YouTube videos. A monthly podcast. MySpace pages, for heaven's sake ("Severus Snape has 3,370 friends").
Even the bookstore chain Borders has chosen an all-Snape method of marketing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, including the choice of pro- or anti-Snape bumper stickers when you reserve the book. (Pro is winning.)

Moral ambiguity. That's all I'm saying ... at least with me you know I'm one of the villains posing as a hero ...  I wasn't supposed to say that ... mother of ...
I have to agree I love that people say he's good if not nice ... that's all I've been saying all along ... sure he's not going to betray Harry ...  you'd have to be on his side to be a traitor (yes I said that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fwd hate mail to Jan's PM box  what?)
Snape is EVIL, Popularity is  and just because you all think he's good isn't going to make it so!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111 I know a villain when I see one ... takes one to know one.

I didn't reserve my book from Borders, so I'll have to do so in order to get a Snape bumper sticker!
It's great how much publicity HP gets. I may not like Snape in the books, but he's an amazing character that's for sure! | |

Snape is interesting as you can't tell what he is! As in evil or good!

|  The Snape Factor
Okay. I am still up in the air about this one. But essentially I think that Severus is not as evil as he purported to be. Bitter. Yes. But truly evil, well I am still out on that one. But I don't really think so. And I am a dyed in the wool Gryffindor! I do have to agree that having Alan Rickman play him was an absolute stroke of brilliance on the part of casting. I have been a Rickman fan forever and noone could have played the part better. Like with Dumbledore, Gambon is okay but Richard Harris truly had the Dumbledore twinkle in his eye. This guys eyes are dead and flat. Now Lucius on the other hand.....Now thats EVIL incarnate, but Snape no not really.

Snape is so TOTALY bad in a good way!! I love him so much - I think he'll end up being the hero of the series but will still be hated by the Golden Trio!! (Ill still love u Snape!!)
