You've got to get obsessed and stay obsessed

Your essay on Snape was right-on. Yeah, Snape is fascinating, so tormented and he sticks to his commitments even when he hates what they lead to (double agent among Death-eaters; protecting the kid who looks at him with the eyes of the girl he loved in the face of the boy who bullied him). When I finished book 6 all I wanted to do was talk to people about Snape, I knew Harry was wrong about him, and I spent all of book 7 waiting for him to be vindicated (which took an awfully long time, and I was going to be really pissed if it didn't happen). I read a lot of interesting Snarry when I first stumbled into fandom, but then I ended up in an H/D corner on LJ, and I didn't quite know where to go for newer Snarry - I really can't handle fluff about Snape.
