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
