complex character.  Is all of it  just because she is worried about 
teenagers falling for Alan Rickman,  or is there something else?  
I honestly haven't a clue.<

JKR has enemies who like to take what she says out of context. 
They would love to catch her saying nice things about Slytherin 
House or other not so wonderful role models, so she's careful to 
say we shouldn't think they are nice. But I think she's more 
worried about Draco fandom than Snape. As someone said, 
Snape fans are presumably old enough to take care of 
themselves, and can be gently teased about their infatuation. 

Draco fangirls, though, might be too young or naive to realize that 
translating a lust for dangerous men from fiction to reality might 
be the difference between riding a roller coaster and jumping off 
a cliff.
