As a Snape fan, I can't see why many of my fellow fans think he's 
attractive.  I agree with Catlady that JKR meant to construct him as 
a character for us to love to hate, at least for the first half of 
the series, throwing tiny bits of redeeming quality in the mix but 
never fails to show us he's repulsive in both appearance and 
personality.  Book Snape is as unattractive as it comes.  When she 
was asked whether Snape would fall in love, JKR memorably answered 
why would any woman want Snape to fall in love with them.  Then she 
told us to wait for book seven, when all would be revealed!

The evolution of fanon Sexy! Snape has a lot to do with Alan Rickman -
- after he's cast into the role, I noticed a sharp increase in 'Snape 
is sexy' posts and the number of Imperius fics. (Snape fandom speaks, 
meaning the author cast an imperius curse on the OFC to make her fall 
in love with Snape.)
