>I have a two part theory on that scene. First as to his movements I
always saw it as more of a menacing slither around the desk. It also
sounded to me like he put a bit of a hiss on the "S" in Slytherin as
he was moving. I immediately thought, snake, but then I had read the
book and knew what was coming <
>My guess is that the Snape's Office scene was the one
being done that day and the lack of sleep was the reason for the
slightly puffy face. I'm sure only the seriously obsessed group
here, and I am proud to count myself among you by the way, would even
notice.<

God for the discount theater, I was going broke) <
Hey gang,
Sorry to burst your theories and, um, bubbles, but Alan Rickman wasn't told to do anything to make his neck or face look bigger... he really *was* sick in that scene, suffering from a terrible cold, which is why he looked so funny.
The reason I know this to be true is that I was on an Alan Rickman fan list last year (I'm no longer on it - I got so sick of reading every message that screamed "Alan Rickman is SO HOT!!!!" *rolls eyes*) and, while lurking, I read about the fans meeting Alan in person while he doing the play, Private Lives last year. What I found out was that the fans saw he was really sick around January to February last year, but still didn't want to miss out on doing the plays or the movies, so he kept going (such determination! what a sweetie) - thus why he looks so pale and sorta thick and funny.. He was just suffering from a really bad illness (I have no idea what it was).
I hope that clears everything up. :)
