Mike:

A little while back I came up with this little moniker for Snape. It 
springs from my belief that Snape is mostly OFH (for personal reasons 
he wants revenge on Voldemort), partly DDM (he sees Dumbledore and 
his Order as the best way to exact that revenge), and although not 
really ESE, definitely all a##hole (anybody need an explanation?). 
Even DDMers must admit that Snape still has an allegiance to the 
Malfoy family, at least Narcissa and Draco. He maintains an outward 
allegiance to Lucius as well as LV. At the same time, Snape maintains 
a certain outward (and in some cases probably some actual) dislike 
for the good guys, even though those good guys still respect Snape 
and what he does for the Order and the individuals in the Order 
(except Sirius). This is it:

Multiply
Influenced
Snape;
Never
Obvious.
Maintains
Enmity,
Respect

IOW, MISNOMER. So SSSusan, is this one any good? I admit I'm no 
Potioncat.

Mike, who finally decided to run this one up the flagpole
