more on Snape's hair (also rather frivolous)

Alex's post about Snape's hair reminded me of an observation I made 
sometime ago about the HP characters hair and how this directly 
correlates to what cause they are working for (DD's or LV's). I 
believe this observation proves whether Snape is a goodie or a 
baddie; I'm not talking about whether he is moral vs. sadastic, or 
whatever, but whether, in the big picture, he is working for the 
greater good (ie with Dumbledore) or the greater evil (ie with 
Voldemort).  Although, as this post is rather frivolous, I'm not 
really talking about anything, but simply rambling, aren't I? heh 
heh...sorry, about that, but anyway...on to the observation.

Have you ever noticed that all the people that we can fairly safely 
assume are 'good' have hair that is less than ideal according to 
society?  No, seriously... :)

1.  Harry - from the beginning JKR makes it clear that Harry's hair 
is perpetually messy, and this is of great consternation to Vernon 
(the epitome of normal society).  "About once a week, Uncle 
Vernon...shouted that Harry needed a haircut...but it made no 
difference, his hair simply grew that way-all over the place" (p 21, 
PS).  

2. Hermione - her hair is bushy (again, not acceptable to 'society')

3. Ron (Weasleys) - 'flaming' red hair, which was originally thought 
to be unlucky, and definitely not desirable

4. Hagrid - can't even get a comb through his hair (GoF)

5. Dumbledore - long, seemingly, untamed hair; not really acceptable 
in society (speaking as someone who has long, seemingly, untamed 
hair, i can attest to this)

I could go on, but...let's look at the baddies, now...

1. the Malfoys - described as having 'sleek, blonde hair', very neat, 
clean, etc.

2. Dudley and Vernon - have "thick, blonde hair that lay[s] smoothly" 
on their heads...again, very neat and normal.

3. Tom Riddle - okay, so we all we know is he had 'jet black' hair, 
but I've always pictured it as well-kept...

So, yes, Snape, he has greasy hair (something that is shunned by 
society), so, logically, he must really be working for Dumbledore; in 
the long run, he's a goodie.  Well, I don't know about the rest of 
you, but that's certainly put to rest any doubt I had in my mind.;)

Peace,
Beatnik (who, in reading over this post, reaffirms that she has way 
too much time on her hands...or perhaps not enough sleep)
