Montavilla47:
Don't worry.  There's plenty of Snape supporters here.  I 
think we just know not to tussle with Alla on the subject.
She's pretty adamant about her opinion on Snape and I'm 
certain that she's not going to change it any time soon.

But the good news is that I can usually find common 
ground with her on Dumbledore.
