Valky:
My memory is not all that perfect either, but I'm sure he was absent 
from Hogwarts at Christmas every year, I am not even sure if he was 
at the Yule Ball, I think I'd remember his dress robes if he was.

Valky:
That's about it Karen, in a nutshell. I think JKR said who would 
want Snape in love with them... exactly.

Valky:
Ooooh I like that a lot Karen actually. Perhaps she tried to leave 
*him* because of some unpalatable goings on, but he got a teeny bit 
obsessed. I would go so far as to think Jo was alluding to Snape as 
one who couldn't take a rejection very well.

Valky:
No I think you're right again Karen. Sirius definitely hates Snape 
*the person* with more of a passion than James ever did. This could 
have something to do with a lady, I wonder if it's Florence?
