Susan:
No fair!  We were talking about this offlist, Kneasy, and now I've 
been called on it. ;-)   Seriously, I **try** to not let movie 
contamination enter in, but I have to admit that sometimes, when I go 
back to the books, I *do* get a shock when I read the real Snape.  

Of course, I'm STILL not hopping up on that fence w/ Sue.  Nosiree!  
I'm sticking with Lynette's "He may not be a nice guy, but he's a 
good guy" position.  

Siriusly Snapey Susan...who hopes she made that attribution to the 
correct person [Lynette??]
