I just want to point out that it isn't the bad boy thing for some people.
Snape is just interesting. Some girls find that attractive. Some girls
just enjoy the character without being attracted to him. But it seems
like JKR is just focusing on the "bad boy" thing when she is irritated at
the fans crushing on Snape, which isn't exactly the it.

Snape's a mystery, he's possibly the most complicated character in the
book, every plot about him is *fun* because he's such a free radical.
Plus he's intelligent, sharply witty, and, honestly, sometimes I'm glad
that someone gives Harry the smackdown, only because main characters
usually annoy me. 

BTW, do teen girls crush on Alan Rickman? I had a discussion with someone
who said that it's a sign of maturity when you stop lusting after
Willoughby and start appreciating Colonel Brandon (in Sense and
Sensibility). What I mean is that the "fangirls" who crush on AR's Snape
are probably fanwomen who are long past their bad boy stage.
