Maybee Snape was damaged by a youthful love affair with Clarissa 
Coulter. That's why the Golden Monkey enjoys decapitating bats, it 
reminds them of their youth when they first honed their sadistic 
technique on Severus and his Bat daemon.

The other thing puzzling me about Mrs Coulter is why she isn't 
`sexy'? We've seen on this list recently how many of the HP male 
baddies are way sexier than the HP male goodies, and most of the 
reasons given apply equally well to Mrs. Coulter. In fact, those 
reasons are obviously felt by the majority of characters in the book 
who meet her. But it doesn't translate to the reader - why?


Cheers,


Dumbledad.
