HAH.

About Snape. I have been sitting back smugly enjoying all the comments
from you unbelievers, who did not believe before you saw! I've put so
much energy into explaining why Alan Rickman is perfect, that this is
wonderful.

Most of you approve of his "look." Most of the fear that he's too old
has evaporated. Many of you have marveled at the precision of his
expression, the sizing-up, speculative, unpleasant look rather than
hatred on his face. None of this surprises me. He's looking and acting
exactly as I expected. HAH.

Not only does he match the physical appearance for the character, Alan
Rickman is a superlative actor in the realm of shades and nuance. He is
one of the few actors on the planet who will be able to do Snape to OUR
satisfaction, and that's saying something. You just wait (like we have a
choice?).
