That's where my imagination was my undoing. <g>  I thought I *did* 
know what was driving pre-DH Snape.  And I felt like I knew him.  Oh, 
sure, there were details to be cleared up, but I thought I had a 
pretty clear picture of the guy.  I was wrong.

Betsy Hp:
Because I had such a firm idea of who Snape was pre-DH.  I was wrong, 
and post-DH, Snape turned out to be a completely different beastie.  
But I know *my* Snape would not be happy with the actual Snape, 
because I know my Snape.  I don't really know the actual canon!Snape 
all that well.  I kind of don't want to. :)
