I took "Puddin'head Wilson" with me to the dentist---the very same 
dentist who let it slip that Snape wasn't the baddie in SS/PS--he 
looked at the book, looked at me and said, "I never knew anyone would 
read Mark Twain if they didn't have to."

I switched to his associate.


Back to canon. Snape has a house full of books. Have we seen any 
other wizard with books? In their office or carrying books?

Oh, Hagrid read about dragons. Flitwick has books in his classroom.
