SSSusan:
Seeing as how I've not submitted any posts today, and since I'm still 
thinking about Dung's challenge (in a different thread) to come up 
with some CANON that Lucius is totally OFH and less capable of being 
a friend than Snape (anyone want to help me? <g>), I might as well 
write in on this.

As Alla mentioned, I do believe in a DDM!Snape who is *not* just a 
poor, misunderstood good guy; *not* a sweetheart who's only been 
pretending to be nasty just to play a part in some scheme; *not* a 
man who's going to be revealed to be not only DDM! but also an All 
Around Good Guy(!) in the end.

Rather, in my view, Snape is slimy, greasy [wash that hair! brush 
those yellow teeth!], cruel & petty & nasty & unfair & small at 
times, insecure at times, blinded by rage at times, knowledgable but 
a decidedly less-than-perfect teacher, who is also highly talented, 
intelligent, and dedicated to DD and to ridding the WW of Lord 
Voldemort.  In my view he has some serious character flaws indeed, 
but for whatever reason(s), he is working on the side of Right.  

In other words, he is NastyGitMajorPrickDDM!Snape

That's my story and I'm sticking to it... until & unless Book 7 
proves me wrong.
