Snape will always have my undying gratitude for being the first
character in the series who had some three-dimensional depth to him. 
He won my respect with his potions trick which Hermione described
more as a logic puzzle and more than the average wizard was capable
of.   He still strikes me as the one wizard who cut make it in the
muggle world once he figured out the traffic signs and the currency.

Moreover, he's a nice change from the well-intentioned but mostly
ineffective males that usually surround Harry.  All of them caring
for him and deeply concerned but sometimes you just want somebody to
crack the whip and get the ducks all lined up in a row.  One way that
JKR could make the next book shorter than OOTP would be for Snape to
pick up Harry at the Dursley's.  There'd be none of the usual taking
200 pages to get to Platform 9.75; Harry would be packed, primed,
strapped to a broomstick and Fed-Exed to Hogwarts by page 40, tops.

Yup, the Snarky Git is a keeper, definitely.  Hope he doesn't get
killed until halfway through Book 7.
