Alla:

HAHA, I love sour old woman comparison, I so do. I suppose you can 
get the ill feeling between him and James when he calls Harry just 
as lasy as his father or something like that.

But totally not between him and Sirius, zis was non existant, I mean 
Sirius appears momentarily in the bad memory when they want to turn 
him upside down, but you shall see - whole scene lasts few seconds, 
it seemed to me.

And as I said, the most wierd was for me Snape ending lessons, after 
he encouraged Harry so much to defend himself from the invasion and 
that's what Harry does.

Susan thought that maybe the filmakers went for Snape just feeling 
too vulnerable after Harry just happened to see it, but still wierd 
for me.

Hmmm, you would LOVE him responding to Umbridge question about DADA 
position and when Harry is telling him that they got Padfoot and 
Umbridge is asking what Harry was saying.

I do think that Rickman is so incredibly old for the role ( Susan, 
dear please do not kill me :)), since I always felt that Snape 
incredible immaturity ( TILL I thought he is an evil scam of the 
earth) can be partially explained by him being a very young man by 
wisarding age especially.

But Rickman's voice, oh man so perfect and him being old, he did do 
a good job, I thought.

Alla, who so misses Kathy on main list.
