The role of Snape is always hardest to play and hardest to cast.
When they first mention movie, my worst fear is WB will have a total
cheese out evil movie Snape and strips away all the subtlety of his
character.
Yes, all your objections are valid but Rickman does have Snape's feel
to him, you have to admit. Not many actors can play Snape and
Rickman happens to be the one closest in both looks and mannerism.
Even if he's a bit old. Also, I'll settle for chin length hair and
an older Snape in exchange for that distinctive silky voice. Doesn't
the line 'Mr. Potter, our new celebrity' send a shiver down your
spine? The voice melts me down. Period. It's much better than what
I've heard on both the Fry and Dale version. Dale's Snape is
ridiculously oily; Fry is better (may be he's channeling Rickman) but
doesn't sound menancing enough. Alan Rickman strikes the balance for
me.
