for him to disappear from the books and I don't even want for him to
die, although I would not mind such outcome.

I want an apology from him to Harry worded something like "Potter,
you are not your father and I was wrong for not realising that
earlier" No, I don't want for him to hug and kiss Harry at the end, I
just want an apology for undeserved emotional abuse he put him
through.

Oh, and I also want him to leave Hogwarts AT THE END of the series
and never, ever come close to children again.

Let him go to some potions research institute or something.

That is what I want for Snape. Does it answer your question? :)<<

HunterGreen:
Not really. I was more curious to those who think his teaching 
methods are horrible and those who think there might be some reason 
that Dumbledore is allowing it, what do you think should be done 
about it? Personally, I don't think anything *needs* to be done about 
it, because the situation is not spinning out of control; meaning 
that the students are learning, and no one is getting scarred by his 
insults (just my opinion only, I don't want this to spin into another 
Snape debate). For those who *disagree*, what should be done to him?

I think you were answering what you would like to see happen to him 
by the end of the series, which is a slightly different question (I'm 
in the camp that he's going to be dead by the end of book seven, so 
he won't be a teacher anymore anyway).

HunterGreen (at the risk of getting too OT):
Its not really a "rule" I have, it just personal preference. I've 
been in other fandoms and I can't stand fanfic there either. I just 
can't stand the idea of someone else making personal descisions for 
the plot and the characters besides the author (the only time it 
doesn't bother me is with the movie adaptations, because they are 
using the storyline from the book as a guide, and I'm watching it as 
opposed to reading it...if someone made a book from the movie I 
probably wouldn't be able to read that either). Fanfic is just very, 
very strange to me. I understand why write it and why people want to 
read it, I just cannot stomach it myself.
