<snip> Another thing-I can't believe I forgot to mention when I originally wrote that email-I was kinda looking forward to Snape's DADA class.  Since Snape always longed to teach that, I'm sure he would have been delicious in the niche he's always felt for, and Alan Rickman would have nailed it.  Not to mention the posters Snape points out to the class: victims of the Dementor's kiss, torture, etc.

Carol responds:

I agree. I love Snape (book and movie) and wish that most of the earlier films hadn't cut his Potions classes, among other potentially great scenes. I would have loved to hear and see him sweeping through the class, making his first-day-of NEWT DADA speech with all eyes fastened on him. I suppose that the filmmakers cut it because they didn't think it was essential to the plot. Alternatively, they may have thought that his horribly realistic posters would push the limits of the PG rating.

Carol, hoping for as much Snape as possible in the two DH films and hoping that they do justice to his final scene
