Yes, this. I can't begin to explain why I'm so involved with this fictional character and his fate, but the emotional compulsion runs deep. It really is a semblance of a love affair, and it shows no signs of ending anytime soon.
I'm glad fandom is full of your sort of fool, and mine, all of us who keep Snape alive even though in canon terms his story's over. Without him, I wouldn't be here. But fandom is always breathing new life into him, and the quest to portray all those hidden sides and private moments, the darkness that sacrificed itself for the sake of light, is a temptation impossible to resist.
