Now me (Cindy):

I like him even more now, becuase I can understand him even better
than before. And it is not because I feel sorry for him.

Me again (Cindy):
I do agree with you here completely. It is very immature behavour.
But, Snape is not the only person who acts this way. Sirius Black, for
one, is even worse.

Me again (Cindy):
Yes, JKR did say this. And I can't wait to find out more about Snape
becuase she said this. The suspense is killling me. And I will back
Snape up no matter what. And looking at all the Snape fansites out
there, I know I am definately not the only one. You don't understand
why Snape fans like Snape because you are not yourself a Snape fan.
Snape is misunderstood and so are we. But we understand each other.
Snape fans unite!
