Welcome Eileen (and yes, you look kinda familiar too :-) )

Ooh--would love to read this when you're published ;)    I have--or had (I 
don't know if they took iit down) an unfinished fic about Snape's early 
years at Hogwarts up at Fiction Alley.  Somehow Real Life (tm) got in the 
way of my finishing it--that & nautical fiction.

I've read OotP twice (and the others --barring HBP--51 times), so I know 
what you mean.  It's replaced CoS as my least favourite book.  I read HBP in 
three days, on the edge of my seat the whole time.  Haven't talked much, but 
the discussion is very good -- enlightening as well.

Looking forward to reading your take on him.
