vmonte:
I was looking through some old interviews and I reread this one:

Fry, Stephen, interviewer: J.K. Rowling at the Royal Albert Hall, 26
June 2003.


"How do you decide what the baddies would be like?"

JK Rowling: This is going to sound awful but I've met enough people I
didn't like in my life to have a fairly shrewd idea of what I want
baddies to be like. I think from letters I get from people your age
that nearly all of you here knows a Draco Malfoy and girls will
almost certainly know a Pansy Parkinson. We all grow up with those
sort of people and certainly as adults we've all have met people like
Lucius Malfoy and some of the other characters.

Stephen Fry: Malfoy, Goyle and Crabbe are almost irredeemably bad –
certainly there's almost nothing attractive about about Goyle and
Crabbe, repulsive – Malfoy is reasonably stylish


JK Rowling: Malfoy is certainly stylish in the film –

Stephen Fry: Yes, and even in the books there is a certain flair.
Most characters like Snape are hard to love but there is a sort of
ambiguity – you can't quite decide - something sad about him – lonely
and it's fascinating when you think he's going to be the evil one a
party from Voldemort obviously in the first book then slowly you get
this idea he's not so bad after all.

JK Rowling: Yes but you shouldn't think him too nice. It is worth
keeping an eye on old Severus definitely!


This interview was held a few days after Order of the Phoenix came 
out (book 5).

At this point in time there are only two books left. What do
the majority of you think JKR is refering to in her comments above?
Especially now that in book 6 Dumbledore is murdered? 

In retrospect this comment makes sense. I would have to agree with 
JKR that Snape is not so nice after all. (Not that I ever thought he 
was nice.)


MA: OK, big big big book six question. Is Snape evil?

JKR: [Almost laughing] Well, you've read the book, what do you think?

ES: She's trying to make you say it categorically.

MA: Well, there are conspiracy theorists, and there are people who
will claim -

JKR: Cling to some desperate hope [laughter] -

ES: Yes!

MA: Yes!

ES: Like certain shippers we know!

[All laugh]
