Heavens! You took the words right out of my mouth Brenda! 

Back into the canon Snape issue, I took the advice of colebiancardi
and googled for the JKRowling drawing of Snape, I had seen it before
but I definitely needing reminding. He's not pretty that Snape, at
all! I compared it with some snapshots of Alan Rickman in Snape
costume and I was actually quite impressed with the likeness, Alan
does an excellent canon Snape, I have always thought that, but I also
agree that as he is a good looking man ordinarily, he can't help
softening the shock factor of Snapes looks. Snape IMO is, in canon,
intended to have a terrifying appearance without even trying, his
description is *freaky*, I think. What, if anything, is "sexy" about
him is the air of mystery, which is a more powerful attractive drug
than looks are for a great many women IMHO.

OTOH warmth and solidarity in a man is equally attractive and more
lasting, which is what I think stuns Jo the most when the Snapeophiles
show the world their numbers, the kind of attraction that I see exists
in Snapes character is not a lasting, comforting thing, except in
fantasies where you mend his broken heart and build him up from ground
level with affection and comfort. It's really just fantasy, but then
so is Snape, so maybe its all in the right place after all. ;D

Who can barely believe she had something to add to this conversation,
and who thought Jo's drawings of Hagrid and Dumbledore seem to betray
that she always had Robbie Coltrane and Richard Harris in mind.
