I don't have a problem with slash and actually can sort of imagine 
Sirius/Lupin, but Snape/Harry?? Ewww. Sorry. Not to mention the 
inappropriateness (to say the least) of teacher/student 
relationships, especially in a boarding school setting.

>Snape/Lupin. Snape/Black. 

Very realistic - NOT!! AFAIK Snape despises both of them, so why 
would he be involved with either romantically?? Obviously this is a 
fanfic fantasy.

> Snape/McGonagall. 

The least implausible of these pairings, IMO, though I've kind of 
thought McGonagall and DD might have something going ;-)


>Snape/Hermione.

Beyond EWWWW (see above)... Hermione doesn't worship authority nearly 
to be interested in Snape, much less for this pairing to work. Now 
Hermione/Percy could be possible, if only Percy didn't suck up to 
Crouch Sr. so much! No, I don't really see Hermione with any teachers 
or several-years-older prefects, and I doubt that JKR does either.


> Snape really gets around, doesn't he? 

According to fan fic anyway!
