Me too. 
"So, seeing a bitter, angry, bad tempered, sarcastic,witty, 
intelligent, brave, loyal and sexy (in a gothic sort of way)
character tends to keep my interest peaked and causes me to waste 
good money on books, audio CDs, movies, plush-toy Golden Snitches/3 
Headed Dogs and badly designed action figures with bits that fly out 
of them. No..no.. I'm not a fan.. really.. I just use them to keep 
the dust off the shelves.. thats it.."

I bought a Snape doll and justified it by saying it was for my best 
friend. Well, I did give it to her, but that's no reason to spend an 
afternoon...inspecting the doll. She helped!!

"Pity there are no 'real life' guys that interesting these days. I 
have NO interest in Sirius and can't see anything 'sexy' about him. 
Lupin is mildly interesting, but doesn't really do much for me.

I think that if I ever met Snape in real life, I would run and turn 
the other way. He's too high-maintenence. Lupin's pretty cool, he's 
be sweet. If we saw more of him, I could probably develop a crush on 
him. Sirius, no. But I'm a Snape fan, and Snape fans tend to not 
like Sirius.

"Lockhart reminds me of my first boyfriend and creeps me out big 
time..." 
I don't think anyone likes Lockhart. But does anyone find it 
interesting that Lupin and Snape are usually referred to as 'Lupin' 
and 'Snape', while Sirius is referred to as 'Sirius'? This was 
brought up a couple of posts ago, the significance of names.

Jazmyn also said:
"This was NOT aimed at offending anyone far as RELIGION goes, but 
aimed at showing that people in the WW may view the 'magic' 
practiced by said people as 'muggles who THINK they can do magic'."

I have always wondered what wizards thought of those things. Do the 
even know that there are some people who think they can do magic? 
How would that work, anyway? 

"Otherwise, please understand that I was TRYING to present how a 
viewpoint of someone from the Wizarding World (if it did 
hypothetically exist) would see it."

I can completely understand...literature can ruffle feathers 
sometimes. I didn't read your original post because I have this 
terrible habit of deleting posts that don't appear at first glance 
to be about Snape. That, and I'm thinking it was an offshoot of the 
Hagrid post, and that topic doesn't really interest me.

"I mean really.. Could you see Snape's reaction if a muggle claimed 
they were cursing him by burning his name in the flames of a black 
candle or somesuch?  Or Hermione's reaction?"

Snape: 'You're kidding, right?' ::turns person into some fun 
creature and puts them in one of his jars::
This is an interesting topic. If the wizarding world DID exist, how 
would they feel about Muggles thinking they do magic? I think that 
the WW would be torn between pity (DD and Mr. Weasley, perhaps Mrs.) 
and malice (Snape and Hermione, and Malfoy). It would probably go 
along the lines of the way the WW is torn about the way they feel 
about Muggles in general.

"At least I was on topic and not talking about house elves and 
wizards having relationships, though its not unreasonable to think 
they wouldn't when you look at all the half giants and others who 
have magical creatures as relatives. Love IS blind after all..."

In looking at relationships between giants (supposedly 20 feet tall) 
and humans (6 feet tall), one can assume that there is a 
possibility. That part was the *only* part of Elkins's post that I 
read, because I always thought it was an interesting subject. And 
yes, love is blind. I'm obsessed with Alan Rickman, and he's 30 
years older than I am.

"(And no, shooting the owl was not meant to offend animal lovers 
either..It was meant as dark comedy. After all, I did like the movie 
Dogma, but despise platapuses..platapi? Whatever.. )"

I loved that movie. The platapi/platapuses part was really 
funny...You should have done a disclaimer at the beginning.
