Off to read some fanfic..... :iagree::iagree: I actually laughed out loud at this comment. :001_smile: Number 11: It's easy to do the right thing when you are part of the golden crowd, but to do it with no recognition while alienating all potential allies and betraying the few 'friends' you have. Whew ... I've been a Snape fan since book 3. Yeah, Alan Rickman didn't hurt either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy in TN Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 LOL Just this afternoon I was telling my middle ds that I wished JK Rowling would write the story of Snape's life. There could be more books than HP- at least 9. There could one for each year at Hogworts just like HP, one book before his time at Hogworts, and probably more than one after Hogworts. There is plenty of story there of Snape as an adult with Voldemort and then parts of the HP story from Snape's point of view that could be told. It would be wonderful!

redsquirrel Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 The weird thing is that I love Snape but I have never had the Rickman lurve. I seem to have some immunity. My friend told me it's because my DH has a deep voice so I hear it all the time. :lol: I once had an acquaintance drunkenly confess to me that she had a fantasy of sitting in a hot tub while my husband read her Shakespeare. I was all..."Ummm, thanks?" I mean really, what is the proper response to that? So, anyway, love Snape but left cold to the whole Rickman thing.

My heart breaks for him. That. JKR has said that she considers him a deeply horrible person, and can't imagine anything worse than being loved by him, so I don't think she will be writing those books from his POV anytime soon. She created this gift of a character and can't stand him. Pity really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick_Mom Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Oh. My. Gosh. There are people out there JUST LIKE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Snape. To heck with the kilts and Johnny Depp and all that. I'd rather take a walk on the wild side with Snape. :D Since he's a fictional character (sniff), can we make up a birthday for him and then have a really long thread about it once a year? Halloween, maybe? Pleeaasse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick_Mom Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Alan Rickman didn't hurt either. I was first intrigued by Alan Rickman when I saw him in Die Hard. He was an absolutely loathsome character -- more so, I think, than Snape -- but there was just something so edgy about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myfunnybunch Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 JKR has said that she considers him a deeply horrible person That's exactly what makes him such a compelling character. He's a deeply horrible person capable of such purity of love and sacrifice. I've always enjoyed Alan Rickman as Snape, but the Snape in my head was never as compelling as the movie Snape.

DarcyB Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Which is why I love how Snape turned out in the movies..much more redeemable? Rickman certainly helped make him so. My husband doesn't get why Snape is my favorite character in the books - I think he's the most well developed, compelling character that JK wrote. But he thinks to have a grown man take out his childhood pities on children to soothe his scars is evil. Granted, I remember the movie Snape better than the book Snape, so my argument was that he was particularly hard on Harry simply because he didn't want him to turn out like James (who turns out to be an anti-hero of sorts). Still, with her hatred of the character she created, she gave him the best of her writing as far as character development, to me, be it good or bad.

Mavis Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 My husband looks a lot like Alan Rickman. 2 years ago he dressed as Hans Gruber (Die Hard character ) for Halloween . This past year he dressed as Snape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKR has said that she considers him a deeply horrible person, and can't imagine anything worse than being loved by him, ITA with Rowling. But he thinks to have a grown man take out his childhood pities on children to soothe his scars is evil. Granted, I remember the movie Snape better than the book Snape, so my argument was that he was particularly hard on Harry simply because he didn't want him to turn out like James (who turns out to be an anti-hero of sorts). This is why I never felt the Snape love. And he wasn't just mean to Harry, he was mean to many students. Look how he treated Neville and Hermoine from day one. It's one thing to be hard on your students, another to be downright mean and to publicly call them names. No. I have no love for that character. I do however, love his complexity.
