I too thought they were "spot on", especially McGonagall. And
Dumbledore is pretty close (the Richard Harris Dumbledore, that is;
can't speak for his replacement; I'm technologically challenged when
it comes to DVD players, so haven't seen PoA yet).
As for canonical Snape: As a teen, he comes across as one of those
creepy kids who in this universe would be running around in Doc
Martins and a safety pin through his lip and trying to figure how he
can borrow his dad's power rifle to blow the school away. As an
adult, he reminds me of those creepy Jesuits in nineteenth-century
Gothics, lurking in corridors and plotting to poison the hero and
chain the heroine to the ceiling for the good of her soul. I love the
movie Snape, but I have trouble connecting him to the canonical
version. (Odd, didn't JKR hand-pick Alan Rickman for the part and
give him lots of sub-rosa information about Snape that hasn't
appeared in the books yet? I seem to remember reading something like
that in one of her interviews.)
