he would have been corrected on set, no?  no, he's not as good as 
his predecessor, goddess bless him, but i think he's as close as 
anyone's going to get.  i think its a shame that anyone should sign 
a petition to get the poor guy fired.  wouldnt you feel bad signing 
that, knowing it was your fault he was fired????  and anyways, 
anytime they change people to play a character for whatever the 
reason, it's ALWAYS a let down, since you now have a 'character 
identity' with that particular actor.

Agreed, mik.  Newell has said he wanted to make Hogwarts more like a 
real British boarding school, hence the harsh Dumbledore and the 
study hall scene with Snape.  Unfortunately (?), Alan Rickman made 
it a humorous interlude and not at all as a nasty schoolmaster the 
way I think it was intended.  Way to go, Alan! LOL
