Not with Snape it's not. If anyone fits the "Bad Boy" profile it's 
Sirius and she has no problem with his 'fandom'.

I have a sneaking suspicion that JKR's objection to Snape Fans (who 
are not the same thing as Rickman-transferance victims) is that 
she's annoyed that we've discovered redeeming qualities in this 
nasty character before she was willing to let on that there are some.

He is, indeed, a gift of a character.
