Alla:

Hmmm, I think you meant ( and I do not mean to correct you, I am 
just asking for clarification) that you do not like the **person** 
behind the character, right? You do like the **character** as Evil 
one? You think he is well written, etc, you just do not like who 
this character **is**?

Like what I feel about Snape? :) I hate who I think he **is**, but I 
certainly love the character.

As to why I like C!M. I actually completely agree with you – he is 
so much more better done villain with more potential than Tom 
Riddle, even some hints at his earlier humanity ( no, I don't think 
he is redeemable and I do not sympathize with him, but it makes him 
so more fleshed out for me).

So, I do not root for the character, I just enjoy him as evil and 
yes, I am particularly grateful for ferret scene and for making 
Snape  um
. uncomfortable. As I said anybody, anybody who makes 
Snape loose control of the situation is good enough for me at least 
to deserve few cheers.

Part of my deep disgust of Snape character as I am sure you know is 
that he is so loud with those weaker than him, those that cannot 
answer, those who do not have power to get back at him in one way or 
another – so, anybody who puts Snape in the weaker position, love 
it, love it and hope to see more in book 7.

Trust me, me too as well and Dumbledore's answers too.
