Ahem. I wanted to post this on ff.net, but didn't dare to. It is silly. It
is a (sorta) love letter. Bare with me, please?




Dear Professor Snape,

With great hesitance I finally decided to write you this letter, with which
I want to express my utmost respect and adoration.

I know that you are a modest person who shies away from public recognition
and personal relationships, and I realize that you want to stay low profile
at Hogwarts.

Therefore I am very sorry that I wrote that letter to Mr. Rickman, who is
going to play you in the upcoming movie, and caused that stir about your
person. I shouldn't have said that he isn't thin enough and doesn't look
good with black hair. But I am sure the Obliviators, that arrived half an
hour after he had informed the police of the enclosed wobble-leg curse,
cleaned his memory up and Muggle-Wizarding relations are back to normal now.
And after a few months, everyone will have forgotten the article that Rita
Skeeter published in the Daily Prophet, in which she said that due to the
protests of your girlfriend you would take over the part yourself. I really
don't know how she got that idea.

Honestly, I never claimed I was your girlfriend.

I hope you received the bottle of Shampoo and the Electric Toothbrush I sent
you. I realize of course that rose blossom isn't the most perfect scent and
that the Brush is the purple kid-version but it was all in could organize in
the short time. And I am sorry about all the commotion the ten owls must
have caused - but I was sure you could use the additional food, and the
packet got a bit heavy in the process. Hopefully the strawberries were still
okay but there was no way I could've known that the cream suspender would
explode during air-travel. By the way, I wouldn't dare to criticize you, but
did you ever think of putting on a little weight? The way you walk around
with your robes fluttering everywhere, thin as a stick. That just can't be
healthy!

And you should really reconsider your teaching methods, I heard many
complaints about the unfair and cruel way you treat your students. Don't
think I'm complaining, I like men who know how to handle matters in a tough
way, but this just isn't good for your reputation. I know of course that you
had a rough time growing up and that you think you are doing just the best
for your pupils. Prepare them for the hard, unfair world that awaits them,
and get them to learn zealously because you want them to have the same
opportunities that you had. The concept of tough love is one I admire.

Your foray into the community of the Death Eaters certainly taught you
important lessons and I realize that at this time of your life it was the
only way you could go. Bullied by James Potter and his cronies, your
intelligence and sharp wit cast aside by the pranks and disrespect of four
half-grown wizards that never accepted you.

But how courageous was your decision to turn your back on those dark days
and return to the moral side and see the light! I shudder when I think about
the dangers that came upon you when you offered to spy for Professor
Dumbledore. You saved many lifes and protected innocent people that would
have died otherwise.

It is sad that you never got any recognition for those tasks and I know that
it must anger you - especially since Harry Potter, who practically did
nothing, just was at the right place to the right time, gets hailed as the
saviour of the Wizarding World everywhere.

I wish I could find words to comfort you, but since I know that you don't
appreciate the fuss and rather just would get on with it, I will just say
that I see you for the silent hero you are.

Still, I think that your talent isn't fully appreciated at Hogwarts and that
your kind of man is a rare appearance nowadays. Sadly enough the wizarding
world of today has seldom generated such brilliant minds as yours is. Your
knowledge and wisdom make my knees shake with awe.

Maybe we could meet sometime?


Sincerely,

Mrs. Snape

P.S.: Sorry for stalking you.


A/N: Thanks for putting up with me??? Oh well, I am obsessed, what can I
say. This is not autobiographical - at least not entirely *hangs head in
shame*
