I misspoke. The problem when you talk about a series that someone 
else hasn't read. when I wrote that I was thinking more about the 
rules in regards to magic.  Snape, by dint of his having learned a 
lot of the Dark Arts at an early age, showed a disregard for rules 
and strictures about what magic is *appropraite* to learn. Raistlin 
shows a similar disregard when learning his own style of magic. 
That's what I was thinking about when I typed that rules thing. In 
general, I would agree that Snape is more of a rules follower in 
general, in a petty hall moniterish sort of way. Raistlin is far 
more of an generalized rule breaker but something tells me that 
neither man would let little things like rules get in the way of 
learning something interesting.

phoenixgod2000, who would pay to see either Raistlin or Tasselhoff 
get under Snapes skin.
