I'm the girl who didn't even see Starship Troopers in the first 
place...

<G> But his height is never a topic of great importance, is it? Can 
be that I just ignored this man...

:::nods excitedly::: Who's not a Snape fan? Though, he is one tricky 
guy to portrait in this film, since he's supposed to be a bad guy and 
a good guy wrapped in the same - dead sexy- box! I do hope that 
Rickman is informed about every detail in Snape's past and that he 
strongly avoid reading any post about him in the forums talking about 
what the adult Snape fans expects from him...LOL
And what is SSTL? If it involves Snape, I'm in for it!

I'll do the same! Except that my hair is too short to do anything 
else than stand right up.

four REALLY fine paper organisers with Snape on them, earlier today.
