Sigune now:
Hm - I'm not sure if I buy the Insecure!Snape argument - but I DO 
wonder, with you, how Snape would have tackled the boggart bit. I am 
thinking of Berit's thread on whether or not Snape has a sense of 
humour.
I seem to remember that someone asked JKR what shape Snape's boggart 
would take, and that she said answering that question would be giving 
away too much; but what interests me even more is how Snape would 
advise students to tackle a boggart, and, possibly even more, how he 
would fight his own. You obviously need some sense of humour to 
perform the Riddikulus spell. And I would just /love/ to see Snape 
making suggestions to his DADA students, forcing his own, no doubt 
twisted, sense of fun on them :).

Yours severely,

Sigune
