So silly.
I love Alan Rickman, and yet, I don't see him as Snape per se - but this is a positive way. There is a deeply sensual, well fed hotness to his being that come throught the screen that does not seem to apply to Snape ( who I feel has deeply repressed sensuality and anger in his makeup- his anger at the kids is only the tip of the iceberg)as we see him in the books.
But then again, the interpretation is an intering one. As what all fandom is, really, isn't it? Interpretation of our favorite characters?
