I don't know about you, but I'm one of those who "loves Snape". 
However, I don't feel attracted to him, I love him as a character.  He
is such a delicious character, but if he were a real person I would
thoroughly dislike him.  But I do love Alan Rickman.  He is so good! 
I remember seeing him in Die Hard (a type of movie I hate), but I
liked that movie simply because he was such a cool bad guy in it. 
Now, if I were attracked to Harry OR Malfoy, that would be just plain
weird, given my age.  However, I do feel very Motherly towards Harry.
