Now, now, I've been a Snape fan since the first book, long before Alan
Rickman showed up. You have to admit that 99% of fanfic featuring
Snape has nothing whatsoever to do with the Snape there. A whole flock
of Mary Sues showed up right after Rickman took on the role and
"Sevvy" appeared. *Romances* featuring ingenue Hermione and
Rickmanized Snape abound. I may be wrong (I doubt it) but I don't
think there was a single HG/SS fic in existance before the movies
arrived. (Ah what a blissful time that was!)

On another note, you mention that Snape and Hermione have been through
similar experiences. What similar experiences? From what we've been
led to believe, Snape is pure-blooded wiz, comes from an impoverished
background, was bullied in school (and yes gave as good as he got I'm
sure) came from an abusive home, became a death eater and experienced
god-knows-what. Hermione is muggle-born, comes from a stable family
with *two*-professional parents (no poverty there), immediately
settled into school with nary an adjustment problem, rounded up a
group of friends, is a war-criminal in training--Ah, now I see the
similarities.
