The Sergeant Majorette says:

Why do we love Snape? Simple -- movie contamination. Alan Rickman is 
hot. If they had gotten, say, F. Murray Abraham for the role -- who 
not only looks like Mary GrandPre's Snape, but has made a career of 
playing snapely characters (Salieri in "Amadeus"; a virtually 
identical teacher character in "Finding Forrester" [Sean Connery is 
the James/Sirius and my cousin Stephanie plays the Molly Weasley]), 
the discussion would be moot.

The Pensieve scene threw me back a taste when I first read it, but 
then I thought, nobody likes a goody-goody, and all the dialogue was 
so real I could hear it.
