No offense, but Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeecccccccccccch!

Snape and Hermione? Fanfic has lost control. I have never read a word 
of it, but even the summaries out here are revolting.

How many SS/HG fans are there? Hopefully not enough to warrant their 
own political action group.

Anyway, there is a difference between not revealing a secret for the 
fan sites and writing plot threads for the fan sites. I have no 
problems believing JKR wants to keep any and all relationships 
secret, but changing them for the fans? 

No.

I was a chunky kid at Hermione's age. If it was me, and some spell 
had made me even fatter and a teacher says, "Well, I see no 
difference," I would have found a way, somehow, someway, to hurt him.

Hooks through the nose would have been the start. 

How does one who loves Snape justify or excuse what he did there? I'm 
curious to know.
