| | |  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.)

That's pretty funny. I'm still not 100% sure about Snape yet...

Oh I love Snape!
That was a great article.
And love Alan Rickman......... Quote:
Snape recognized his monumental mistake and turned spy for Dumbledore - or at least that was the story pre-murder, and it's the one that Snape fans still ardently want to believe.
This is wht I've always been believing!

I'm goin with Snape's good. He just had to kill Dumbledore because after he told Dumbledore about the Unbreakable Vow, Dumbledore said he must do it to remain nice with the Death Eaters. That's just what I think.

Were there for you Severus! Quote:

No! No! No! No! NO! I refuse to believe that is his fate!

I LOVE Snape!
He is the best character in the entire books.
I hope Snape doesn't die...Potter can die, but not Snape!

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.

The jury remains out on Severus Snape, that's for sure! His is definately a character that draws one to its ambiquity and complexity and Alan Rickman beautifully adds to his mystique. No other character in the HP series keeps you guessing like Severus Snape!

Thats mah Snape!!! Severus is a great character. People might as well accept that he is a good guy. He is a complex character and I can't wait until everything is made clear. -luffs on the Snapey- | |

Snape is interesting because you really cannot tell what he thinks or is ... I wouldn´t accept such a person to be my bf, having been a DE and all, but he is my favourite HP-character and I love him. I guess we are "just friends" I mean I would have killed my boyfriend if he had joined the Death Eaters :evillaugh To a friend I would have only screamed: "You´re not wise!"
