While not an essential definition of a person's character, loving 
Snape suggests (although it does not require) any of the following:

Hi Matt, I appreciate that you have written a Snape lover does not 
require to be each. However I really must interject on this one, 
anyway.

Underdog: The one expected to lose in a contest as in sport or 
politics. The one who is at a disadvantage.

Correct me if I am wrong but in the debate of James v Snape in the 
penseive "James is/was Evil?" debate the underdog would be the one  
likely to lose which would be James, yes? So therefore the bevvy of 
Snape supporters contributing would be *against* the underdog in 
that particular debate. 

And in the Harry v Snape debate we are talking 11 yr old boy fresh 
from abusive home gets picked on by a grown man emotionally and 
those who say the *boy* should be expected to behave better are the 
ones rooting for the *underdog*? Matt, _that's_ absurd , that one 
please remove it from the list.
