What?  Florence wouldn't have touched Snape with a twenty foot pole?
;-)  

I don't know about that!  Boy, I sure get tired of hearing how great 
James, Remus, and Sirius were/are.  Aaarrrggghhhh!  Give me Snape any 
old day.  I need to join SAS! Or that insane leauge.  Immediately!

Seriously, I don't think of Snape as being extremely ugly in his teen 
years or now.  I think his actions make him appear uglier then he 
is.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think JKR makes 
Snape out to be so unattractive and mean and then she is going to 
surprise us all when we find out Snape was in love and was loved.  
Right now I do lean toward Sirius/Snape/Florence.  I do find it funny 
that Sirius keeps complaining about nosy Bertha!  C'mon, surely a 
Sirius fan can admit that Sirius wouldn't have thought twice about 
putting a curse on someone :-)
