I didn't even have very close friends until 8th grade.  These debates get ugly because people identify so much with a character that they feel an attack on the character is an attack on themselves.  I know when someone attacks Severus, I don't even think before I start typing a reply (most of which I manage to stop myself from sending *grin*).


My reply: The odd thing about this is that even though I never had friends I still like Sirius more.  Perhaps, it's because as a teacher I see what Severus does and it scares me.  However, I am going to say one thing...to me it's not what you were in school but what you become as an adult that is who you are.  I am not sure if Sirius or Snape really became much, Snape can still do that I suppose.  But Sirius did impact at least one person on a very intimate level and that is Harry.  Snape on the other hand is so bitter and holds people at a distance it kind of scares me.
