    First of all, I don't really "get" the mindset of those with a sexual 
attraction to Snape.  Of course, I have never read Snape-oriented fanfiction, 
which I assume portrays him in a more sex-god light than canon. 

I've never read any Snape-sex oriented fanfiction myself. In fact, I hate the 
way most fanfiction writers protray him. But, as one of those who does find 
Snape sexually attractive I may be able to shed some light on "why?" 

I see it as a 'punch or kiss' thing. If ever faced with the surly Severus 
Snape, I would be torn between doing these two things. I have him envisioned 
as a very demanding lover, sexually. This may sound strange, but I think if I 
was ever approached sexually by Severus Snape I'd be frightened, and this 
somehow makes him *more* attractive to him. I've never imagined him being 
"all-cuddles".  

Also, I'm just a villian lover through and through ^^ 

Now, as for my attracting to Quirrell...lol, that's a whole other story...^^

Actually, you're not alone in this. I don't have the message numbers on hand, 
but the subject was "The Worst of Snape/The Worst of Severus Snape". One of 
the "Worst ofs" mentioned was that little line to Hermione. 

  *shakes head* He's not a nice man.  He's not evil, but he's not a good 
person.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I'm a Snape lover, but you've argued more than 
my case for me! I've always found him mysterious myself, but never in the 
'lost soul' way that many seem to find him. There's just something about his 
antisocial nature I suppose. 

Say, could we get an acronym for those of us who *don't* want to turn Snape 
into a nice guy but *don't* hate him? ^^
