SWM came at an interesting time. It changed how I felt about the  
Marauders. I'm not sure it changed anyone's mind about Snape. Many  
anti-Snape readers decided he must have deserved the treatment.  Would 
they have thought that if they hadn't yet met the adult  Snape?
 
Sandy:
 
Well, I had met the adult Snape, and it didn't change the way  I felt about 
him a bit; I still didn't like him. However, I certainly did  not feel he 
deserved the treatment he got and it gave me a lot of insight  into his adult 
character. The gray underpants led me to believe he had an  unhappy home life, and 
he was definitely a target of the campus bullies,  one of them being Harry's 
father and the ringleader no less. It wasn't  hard to understand his bitterness 
but it made him no more appealing. I was  appalled by the Marauders and felt 
sorry for Snape. And I felt badly  because Lily was the only one who tried to 
defend him.
