Alla:

You know, Amiable Dorsai you made me laugh again, but I just wanted 
to express my surprise that people don't like Snape being 
called "greasy git". As others stated upthread , it is certainly 
the "nicest" insult I could throw on dear Severus.

I only call him git when I am in my charitable mood, otherwise I 
like calling him "abuser", "bully" or "killer".

Besides, I think stupid or foolish will apply to Snape very nicely 
if he is DD!M and took the UV  because he was well.... stupid. :-)

Yep, works for me :-)

I used to love " Professor Prick" - courtesy of SSSusan. Still love 
it, actually.


JMO,

Alla, who for some reason used to think that "greasy git" is canon 
but is not sure AT ALL now.
