Valky now:
That pretty close to what I am reaching for, but not quite. I find St
George Snape a bit icky, and it's not exactly the same as Sucker-for
Princesses-Charms-Unicorn!Snape. My Snape doesn't really have to be
noble exactly. The Unicorn is just charmed by the hands of the Ladies,
and we have two opposite cases in play here - Lily, the nice Princess
to whom the Unicorn comes gets a nap on her lap and a token of her
sweetness to take away with him, and we have the 'other' Princess
Narcissa, who lays a trap for the Unicorn beckons him to her side and
snares him. The Noble saviour of damsels in distress would be the
James type in my book, rather than Snape.

Valky:
Yes, I can agree to that, in basis, even a trapped Unicorn Snape fits
this criteria.

Valky:
OOh I never could either, I spat my first Lollipop a while back now.
:D The Acid Pops really do offset the overload of the Lollipops
though, when they're mixed. the A.P. has a real bite to it, so there
isn't so much of a head rush and loss of all sense of reality from the
L.P's. (LOL)
(oooh I am in soo much trouble for that.. )

Valky:
Yes, well Unicorn Snape has a bumpy road ahead, no doubt. I am missing
two of my canons at the moment so I can't enter this battle *right*
now. I can say, one might wonder if taking "I see no difference"
literally will help any, but I won't fire it yet.. Oh darn I already did.

Valky:
Oh I do like them apples there Colebiancardi. Me neither, pitiful
wasted of a broken heart Snape is not necessary in either agreement is
it? I m not buying any broken heart sweets. Sorry, not interested.

Valky:
Well um yes, I suppose he could, but I don't think it would take the
place of his first passion which is his rise to glory, and I don't
think it could stand as a respectable testimony to Holy Dumbledore,
y'know thou shalt not covet the other mans.. etc. It just doesn't seem
right to me. Snapes turn IMHO, really must be based on something far
more sublime than a teenage crush that never came to be, friendship I
think is a much closer match, and I'm not even buying that outright. 

I think, that there was some service done, other than spying,
something stark that revealed innocence in him. Enough to satisfy
Dumbledore that Snape was essentially not evil, in spite of his
awfulness. Not good, but certainly not evil either.

Betsy Hp:
Snape doesn't neccessarily have to have been in romantic love with
Lily for my theory to work.

Valky:
Yesss Betsy, I think we can honestly say that I agree with that.

Valky
Still not sure if she prefers either of the Pops and is keeping a few
of each on hand.
