Sue:

I don't know about Alla, but you're spot on for me, plus, of course SSS's 
"snarky, witty repartee".  These may be good reasons for quite a few people. 
Women especially. I have been reading fan fiction of various fandoms for 
many years, and used to write it, and one thing I've found is that female fans 
just can't resist a character who *suffers* ! :-)

I also suspect that if Snape betrays the good guys in the last novel and 
laughs fiendishly as Harry dies, there are going to be a LOT of pissed-off 
fans. ;-)
