Which is why there is a small herd of us holding out the probably 
vain hope of Daniel Day-Lewis being cast as Sirius...

To continue the Rickman discussion, I stated earlier that I had a 
problem with his character.  However, I didn't mind him bursting into 
that Potions class.  I didn't see it as an indication that Snape was 
late.  I felt that the film-makers wanted to show him doing something 
loud and physical to grab everyone's attention.  I saw it as a way of 
getting across the message physically rather than verbally of "I am 
not someone to trifle with."  But the criticisms of others on the 
list that this is not canon-Snape is well-founded.  In the book Harry 
notes that Snape, like McGonagal, is one of those teachers who has 
the ability to hold the attention of a class without effort.
