Funny. the only scene where I think Rickman!Snape looks really bad (as in old, ill, ghastly, not as in evil) is the OoP scene where Umbridge is interrogating him about his background. Don't know whether it's lighting or make-up or simply being too old for the role. Anyway, yes, he looks older in each film, and, yes, he looked best in the first two, but I don't think he looks all that bad in the Shrieking Shack or at the Yule Ball. He looks fine in the PoA scene where he spreads his arms to protect HRH from the werewolf.
And I use the staff at the Yule Ball as my wallpaper at Christmastime. Wouldn't use it if I didn't like the way Snape looked in it.
BTW, he looks pretty good in the DH scene where he's examining (countercursing?) the opal necklace (my current wallpaper). Maybe they filmmakers finally realized how young he's supposed to be (not quite 37 at that point in the story)--or maybe they had to worry about lighting because Maggie Smith was also in the scene.
Carol, who hadn't thought about the Shrieking Shack as Snape's death scene till Potioncat brought it up and now will probably never feel the same way about it
