Snape is too high-maintenence?  Arn't British guys like British cars? 
They are great to drive, but leak oil and drop parts all over.. They
need constant tinkering to keep them running, but their owners love them
so much they don't care how much trouble they are. ;)

I think I'd look at it as a challenge...though I drive a Chevy cause I
can't afford the upkeep on a Jaguar or BMW.

I'm sure they get curious when they find books on magic writen by
Muggles.  Not sure what they would make of Gardner or Scott Cunningham's
books..?

I don't think Snape would turn someone into something.. Moody might. 
Snape might just sarcasticly 'correct' them and tell them how to
properly curse someone, but then tell them they are non-magical and
can't perform the curse anyways so its an utter waste for them to
learn.  He is a teacher.. supposedly. ;)

Hmmm... He is closer to my age, but still older, but as my last 'mate'
was 50, age isn't that big a deal anymore. Only problem is, I suspect
that Alan is likely gay, being as a large number of male actors are.. I
mean if he isn't married at his age, which one fan site seemed to claim
he was single?  However, I know very little about the actor as I don't
tend to research him much.  He could in fact be married and have 8 kids
for all I know and the fan site I saw might have been wishful thinking?

You know how long it takes to write disclaimers these days?
