K, I finally get it.  The _original_ redemption of Snape.  I can't 
wait to find out what the deal is with that, particularly since it 
doesn't seem easy to quit being a DE.  Sometimes I get confused about 
that because of Snape's relationship to Harry, that I keep thinking 
people want Snape to be redeemed in *Harry's* eyes.  He's obviously 
been redeemed in DD's (and the other Profs at Hogwarts) but to us 
readers, HRH, the rest of the Marauders (ok, just Remus now)he needs 
to do some Sirius explaining (IMHO).

RE: Snape in the movie and Snape in the book... I'm currently re 
reading the series(4x for all but OoP), though this time I'm taking 
notes (yes, notes...).  However, since I am taking notes, I'm not too 
far along yet.  All these Vamp references to Snape really strike me 
as interesting, and although I'm not one of the posters who believe 
Snape's a vamp, the several references to his vamp-like qualities 
that the movie seems to highlight really have me thinking about it 
now.  Someone, in an unrelated post, suggested that perhaps Snape's a 
bat animagus.  I believe it was a different poster who said that Herm 
might know something about Snape that she's not telling.  Could this 
be it?!  She saw the list of registered animagi... The reason I ask 
is because when I first joined this group, lots of posters were 
quoting JKR's descriptions of him as being very much like a vamp/bat.
Any insights?

Susan (teilani) who's grateful that Cuaron doesn't know about Snape's 
twins!
