Ah, yes; I love that scene. I just happen to have Big Adventure, and
don't own S&S yet.

We are of one mind, here. I don't think anyone on the planet can do the
"posture" and "facial" acting as well as Alan Rickman can. Add the
voice, and whooo dawgies! I still don't know how he managed to look like
"Snape who resembled Alan Rickman" as opposed to "Alan Rickman playing
Snape," given that we only saw him for what, two seconds in the trailer?

You seen Truly, Madly, Deeply....?
