I've seen this quote referred to a lot recently. However, it was
interesting to me when I 
looked it up that it refers to J.K. Rowling's favorite character!


Abel, Katy. "Harry Potter Author Works Her Magic," Family Education,
Summer 1999:
Q: Who's your favorite character besides Harry Potter?

A: It's very hard to choose. It's fun to write about Snape because
he's a deeply horrible 
person. Hagrid is someone I'd love to meet.


Therefore I've come to think of "deeply horrible" as only applying to
Snape's personality, at 
least as far as that quote goes. It seems like the sarcastic comments
would be fun to write, 
not someone being truly evil. She doesn't say that enjoyed writing
Tom Riddle.

more recent interviews
