HunterGreen:
Sorry, I don't have the patience for fanfic (the very idea of it 
makes my skin crawl to be honest...I just think the characters are 
best left to the author), do you have a simplier answer? Or, you 
others out there who have argued against Snape's teaching, what do 
you think should happen to him? (and I'm talking in the reality of 
the book, because I'm sure few of you would like to see Snape 
disappear from the books).
