Hi,
I won't be popular for saying this but I thought the "study hall" 
scene, at least the Snape/comedy act was jarring. I can't help but 
think about the directors who must build on what's happened to make 
their movies and a funny Snape just doesn't wash. It was nice for 
this movie, and yes, next film we can just completely forget about 
what has gone before and no one will have any trouble but it's a bit 
hard to reconcile the Snape that's got to deliver the AK with the 
slightly pompous man in black, pulling back his sleeves ala Oliver 
Hardy. I don't really have a beef but I do hate to see a character 
acting so "out of character." Snape's so venemous. Not funny. Also, 
this is a question, but do any of you see Alan Rickman as perhaps 
too nice to be the greasy haired horrible Snape that we get in the 
books? It's hard to be as horrible as Snape can be. And from now on, 
the book Snape has nothing remotely funny to do. Nothing remotely 
endearing. I just wonder what they'll do with the Snape of OOTP.
