I have come to an important conclusion....

*ahem* I have taken great pains to piece together little bits of 
information throughout these posts to get a feel for where people 
stand on the Severus Snape issue.  I must say that it has not always 
been easy, as there is one person out there who sends out mixed 
signals as to what his feelings toward Snape exactly are.  But I 
have cracked his code.  He cannot hide behind his vague posts and 
obscure cannon references any longer.  If he will not take the 
position himself, then it is up to one of us to call him on it.  I 
will take that burden upon myself.  So, without further ado, I can 
say with 99.7% accuracy that....DARRIN DOES NOT LIKE SNAPE!

<waits for the hushed whispers to cease and for the people who 
fainted to be revived>

Yes, I know it is difficult for many to accept and I fully expect to 
be attacked not only here, but in the pages of the Daily Prophet and 
Quibbler as well.  But mark my words, one day Darrin will come right 
out and say that he does not like Snape and you can all look back 
and remember where you were when you read it here first.  Go back 
and read his posts.  Yes, he TRIES to mask his true feelings by 
beating around the proverbial bush and offering contradicting 
statements with every post, but you must read between the lines.  
You will be shocked to find out that he actually objects to the way 
Snape behaves.  It's true.  So, with this public service 
announcement complete, I will now entertain all questions from the 
audience.

Adam Columbo, who was thinking that the Snape discussions were 
getting a little bit heated and the threads could use a little light-
heartedness.  Darrin, keep the posts coming because you have not 
been bested yet in any discussion re: Snape that I have 
seen...although I am waiting :p
