(hope this isn't too OT, moderators :-) I'm still new at this!)

  I would like to second that motion, Snape and Javert actually are very similar upon closer inspection. They both take the law and doing what is right to a dark extreme, and both are DEAD SEXY as well (that's for you Wendy! Audra, Melody and Gail, I hope you are also Snapefans!) This ties in well with eillim's earlier thread as to why women find Snape attractive. IMO, there is something to this aspect of these two mens particular insanity, "full of angst, tortured" (per eillim in the other Snape thread) which is as I see how one becomes after having experienced earlier major tragedy or incident (perhaps the victim of sexual abuse as a minor - Karkaroff? Book 4) and SURVIVED! Javert says to Valjean in Les Mis: "I was born inside a jail, I was born with scum like you, I am from the gutter, too". This shows an overall strength and ability to survive, things which are definitely attractive to women. There is still however a definite mystery as to what exactly happened to these men to turn out so, but hopefully we will have some more insight into this for our dear Snapey in book 5 or on.

BTW Gail, brilliant FILK!!!!!! It did work out perfectly :-) I am also a HUGE Les Mis fan!

Robin (who has a splitting headache and is off to bed, so hopes all of this is of any interest to anyone!)

(also a Lucius lover! but cannot find much canon to support why this is so, It just must be a general bad-boy thing! What must he have experienced to become so!)
