LOLOLOLOL.
This is one quote Carol. I brought it up because I thought it may
remind of some Snape's characteristics - voice and mockery, yes, but
NO - his actions remind me of Snape. Hey, ask Zara if you do not
believe me, who as you know an avid Snape fan and she will tell you
that this character reminds her of Snape in a very positive way.
And, um, not that it matters, but just for clarity, where did you
find the word fat in description of his?
I am rather fat myself, so it is not like I will have a problem with
it, but this character is a warrior, a soldier, besides being a ruler
in his dukedom. Fat is NOT a word that is about him at all.
And heeee, killing people, well, let's just say that appearances can
be deceiving. VERY deceiving.
So, um, to answer again - for me, he is Snape in his acid mockery and
tone, but for you as Snape fan, he will remind you of Snape at his
best, trust me.
Alla.
