Carol responds:
 
 Oops! <Blush!> Told you I wasn't into astrology. 
 
[snipping some good points]
But the main point of my post is the part that you snipped, about the
 relevance of the "positive" water sign traits to Snape. And since
 Slytherin House is definitively associated with water, the idea still
 applies, whether Snape himself is a Scorpio or a Capricorn. Any
 comments on those thoughts, which can be found upthread?
 
 Carol, blushing for her error and hoping that it hasn't caused her
 main point to be disregarded
 
 
     
        akh follows up:

No need to feel embarrassed.  My mother, usually an extremely logical person (she was a business major with a math minor in college) became obsessed with astrology and had our full charts done, so I lived from early adolescence on with a parent who evaluated people's personalitis by their sun signs (and excused away aberrations with, "They probably have a moon in Virgo," or some such.)

I snipped the rest because I thought the water comparisons were valid, and my only quibble was with the sun sign.  Perhaps Snape is Scorpio rising or his Moon is in Scorpio.  

Hmm, Capricorn's an Earth Sign.  If Snape's a Slytherin and his other major houses are air and fire, he could embody a full complement of elements.  

akh, who thinks it might be fun to see Severus Snape's astrological chart, but realizes it would be dodgy at best, without a location and time of birth
