Oh, I do hate him, absolutely, because of the consequences of his 
actions, which happened OFF-SCREEN. You know, I just want to see it.

Oh, perfectly phrased - "love them, though it is frustrating to do 
so". Absolutely.

I definitely want to know what is at the heart of Harry Potter 
mystery, after all - half of the attraction will be gone without 
mystery plot, but the main reason I love the series  are the trials 
and tribulations of my favourite characters. Some of them are 
carrying around so much pain, that I just want to hug them. :) And 
some of them are doing so many stupid things that I just want to 
slap them.


I think "unconditional" Snape fans should be very proud since Snape 
invokes VERY strong reactions, even if they are often negative ones. 
I wish I could hate Voldemort just as passionately as I want to slap 
Snape sometimes.


>> LisaMarie:
> I disagree about Snape being scary; I am suspicious of him, but I 
(maybe naively) believe that his loyalty ultimately lies with DD and 
that he's working to bring about LV's downfall. 



Alla:


I am not talking about him serving Voldemort, I doubt that he does 
that. I am talking about his reactions to his students. I find it to 
be quite scary.
