I've actually had a terrific time playing in the blended universe of Jane 
Austen & Harry Potter - not limited to my Homage fanfic, which puts certain 
HP characters directly into Pride & Prejudice (at AstronomyTower, part of 
FictionAlley.org ( http://www.astronomytower.org/authorLinks/Heidi/ )
However, I can't see Snape as Darcy - he's not monied enough, and his family 
doesn't have that glint of antiquity (in my blended universe, he's Lady 
Catherine!) - however, Draco's got a number of similarities to Darcy, and not 
just in the names. It's easy to read Elizabeth and hear Hermione's voice in 
my head, really, too.
