I'll? No. Terrifying? Absolutely! I think that was the point. I am a 
huge Snape fan and have been since book one and adore AR but you have 
to admit that the Movie Version of Snape is VERY watered down 
compared to the man in the book. That scene when he comes slithering 
out, white faced and livid from behind that desk was the first time 
we've seen the original (book version) Snape. Remember--we are 
supposed to be seeing this from Harry's POV. He is afraid of Snape, 
he has just been through a harrowing experience and now he's in the 
most fearsome place he can imagine being dressed down and threatened 
with expulsion by the most fearsome person he can think of (barring 
Voldemort himself). I have to admit, my dear Snape scared the **** 
outa me in that scene and I loved every minute of it, ESPECIALLY when 
during the close-up someone behind me gasped and said "oh wow!". YES! 
YES! YES! THAT, Ladies, is Severus Snape. He's a chameleon. He made 
up for it later in the duelling club didn't he? <Swoon!>
