I can see him being skinny. Late nights, no exercise
that we know of and his sallow skin and bad hair. All
lead me more to believe that he gets little exercise,
little exposure to the sun and doesn't eat right
either.

Witherwing:
When I first read the Sorcerer's Stone I read it aloud
with my husband. I remember we pictured the characters
quite differently, especially Hermione. I pictured her
short, a bit stout, and a nest of dark, bushy hair
crammed into a bun on top of her head.

As for Snape, I pictured him as Homer Simpson's boss,
Mr. Burns, only with black, greasy hair...  I think at
the time, to my imaginings, Mr. Burns was close in
personality to Prof. Snape - unconscionably rude and
mean-spirited; also the long, pointy nose. Bent,
skinny and bitter. 

I remember the shock of hearing that Alan Rickman had
been cast in the part, and I think the Rickman Snape
is a wonderful creation, but totally separate from how
I imagined him from reading the books.
