Annemehr:
And don't forget about the Snapologists ("Snape Apologists" mooshed
together)!  Until the release of OoP, and maybe for a short while
after (I missed a good chunk of July), there was a whole flock of them
who would remind you of their presence if anyone dissed Snape on the
list.  They hung around TBay a lot, and they seemed to be the most
formidable defenders a character ever had.  Not to mention Snape's
other fans who weren't officially licensed in Snapology.

A proud tradition, supporting Snape!
