Oh, SpinJam...
Yes, I'm inclined to agree with you on that one. JKR would just be like if she saw what we think about SS/HG. Well,ya know what? That is what is so wonderful about fan fiction. It can be whatever we want!
I think that if Jo sat down and listened to our reasons for why they belong together, she couldn't help but agree with them. She may not ever agree with the idea of their being in a relationship, but the potential is undeniable.
Anyone else agree ?
Oh, and I have a question for all:
What song reminds you of Severus Snape?
My answer is "Amazing" by Aerosmith. The words are just so right for him. I'll summarize:
I kept the right ones out(Lily Potter) And let the wrong ones in (Death Eaters/Voldemort) Had an angel of mercy To see me through all my sins(Dumbledore) There were times in my life When I was goin' insane Tryin' to walk through the pain(When the Potters were killed)
And when I lost my grip And I hit the floor Yeah, I tought I could leave But couldn't get out the door I was so sick n' tired Of livin' a lie I was wishing that I would die(Again, when the Potters died)
(Chorus) It's amazing With the blink of an eye You finally see the light(When Dumbledore accepts him into the order) It's amazing That when the moment arrives You know you'll be alright It's amazing And I'm saying a prayer To the desperate hearts tonight (His own heart)
That one last shot's a Permanent Vacation And a how high can you fly with broken wings Life's a journey - not a destination And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings (Obvious, I believe)
You have to learn to crawl Before you learn to walk But I just couldn't listen To all that righteous talk (Voldemort's plan) I was out on the street Just tryin' to survive Scratchin' to stay alive (When he was desolate after Lily died)
Awesome song for him, right? Ah ! I love it !

Hi Emily... We have already talked about songs a few messages earlier, during the Snapeweek...there's a whole bunch of posts full of texts...I am going to make a Snape Compilation with all your suggestions and put the song lists on the site and here, too...thanks for your addition.
These days there's a weird atmosphere in all the Severus lists around the world. It's like people are holding breath, waiting for the next JKR's announcement or interview that would give a hint on the 7th book events. This book means the end, we know. But I don't really think it's a real end. I mean, I've read too many fanfics about dead characters to feel bad about a supposed bad end for Severus. Maybe I already said it, but this is what I feel...
I am working closely with the Italian Severus list/site and I did the Italian/English translations for a questionnaire they have published recently (thanks to Elaine and Albus for reviewing!!!!). It's a long, long questionnaire, that in 2 weeks has already collected 6000 answers. They're going to publish it in English next week. I'll give you the link, so if you want to participate, it will be fun. A consistent part of the questions regards Severus of course.
I don't think Snape hates Harry. Severus hasn't so much patience with kids, first of all, and Harry is pretty annoying from a teacher's point of view. He doesn't respect the rules and blah blah blah. In addition to this attitude, there's his being James' son. Although very immature, Snape's behavior is not so different from the one of a million other professors in the world. He's not a perfect person, we know. Teaching wasn't his choice. he had to do it to survive. I KNOW how frustrating it can be to do a job you don't like so much...while you dream to do something else. But where else could he go?

I'm sure everyone will be nice to you, snaperules, well I know I will. I have to say a totally agree to what you are saying about Snape and Hermione, I personally don't think it could ever happen and hopefully never will. But obviously the people who believe in the Snape and Hermione ship they are in titled to their own opinion, I'm not one to have a go at another for what they believe but merely state my opinion to them.

I don't think anyone of us is a RW hater. I mean, we have our likes and dislikes, but that's all...we won't bash any character here...only a constructive critical approach!!
I agree on the SS/HG ship. Maybe because I am Severus' age and I couldn't see myself with such a young person beside me...but it's just my opinion. I would see him with a stronger, older woman...like me, maybe...
For some reason, I just can't see the SS/HG 'ship. Nope, just not no way. He's what, twenty years older than she is? Plus her somewhat abrasive, in-your-face personality? Mondo yuck. And I'm not so sure that he finds her all that intelligent. In HBP his response to her answer, 'What is the advantage of a nonverbal spell? 'was quite dismissive, as if beneath his attention. For some reason, the thought of them picking out china patterns, or curtains, is just, well unimaginable. Even a date, where would they go, what would they do? I have this image of them traipsing through the woods looking for potion ingredients. Hermione explaining in excruciating detail the use of every plant they come across and poor Severus wondering if he left the water running before they left. Would he kiss her just to stop her from talking?

Louise-
Oh... my... Merlin...
Where is that, where can I get it, and how much is it? I love it! I have to have it...
snaperules- All of us oldies on here are pretty friendly. I don't think that you will encounter anyone being too nasty around the forums. About Snape/Hermione...
Well, it's best just not to get me started. I have a long, detailed explaination on the ss/hg SHIP thread that explains, in my opinion, why Snape and Hermione are meant for each other. If you are interested (or even just curious to see what I could possibly have to say in defense of the topic), you can find my post here.
I try not to push my opinion on them on anyone *cough* imlying *cough*, but, as you said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Also, by no means do I hate Ron Weasley. He's adorable! I just feel that he and Hermione are just not right for each other at all. My reasons for this are also stated in the post I linked to above.
Well, on behalf of soss, welcome to the forums, and I hope you stop by once in a while to chat about our beloved Snape! I'm sure he would be pleased .
P.S. Hey, everyone- would someone add to my last post in our joint Snape fic thread pleaaasssseee. *begs* I am dying to add on to whatever someone writes...

One more add-on, real quick, as this was posted exactly when I was posting mine...
That is exactly what I picture their relationship to be like! Except, I think of it as a good thing... and mighty cute, at that.
Couldn't you just picture it... two Snarky Know-It-Alls, reading books in their library, only interrupting each other's reading to comment loudly about what a "dunderhead" or "dingbat" the writer is because his theories so don't go with anything else they have read?
I love them together. *happy sigh*

I don't want to start a debate, also because Emily is one of my friends and I still firmly think that everyone has the right to express their ideas. But there was something that disturbed me, like the pea under the mattresses... You know, Emily, I thought about it for a while and I realized what really disturbs me in the SS/HG ship: the pictures of the real actors playing them. Because, deviantart for example provides wonderful drawings of the ship and they don't make me feel so "against" the ship. Maybe it's the ideas associations between the 60-year-old Rickman and the 16-year-old Watson...yuck.
Actually, Snape must be exactly 20 years older than Hermione. It's a big age difference, of course, although in the wizarding world people live much longer (if not killed early by some spell... ) than muggles. I would simply pray that poor Hermione has a couple of long-term relationships before getting trapped by Snape .
I can easily imagine them together, but not with the actors' faces. I have friends who were mothers in their twenties. My mom had me at 19. The recent trend of having babies just after graduations, Uni degrees, job finding etc. could not apply for the wizarding world... So she wouldn't be too young at, say, 25, with a husband of 45 (who, thanks to the fanfic writers, looks like a 30-year-old guy) .
Have a fantastic day

Awe, I would never start an argument with my good friend Clara . I totally agree with you, babe. Alan Rickman and Emma Watson = not cool. However, seeing as those are the real life actors that we have been given to portray these two fictional characters, it is all we have to work with. I have tried to take some pictures of a younger Alan Rickman and work them in, but, to tell the truth, there simply aren't that many of him.
I love this ship, and will never be persuaded otherwise, but I respect everyone else's opinion at the same time. If you will allow me to speak my piece to you, I will listen to yours. Perhaps you will be persuaded , and perhaps we will agree to disagree .
Either way, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I am more than open to hearing all of them.
I think we can all agree on one thing, though...
Snape is wonderfu !

Aw, Elaine! You stole mine about the green light! I always find that one too humorous!
Okay, so this one's from the Alan Rickman fansite: Alan is flat-footed. Why we care, I just don't know.
Uh. . . in school, Alan was also interested in pursuing a career in Graphic Design. When he graduated, he and some friends formed a design company called Graphiti(Another biography on the web) He was good at calligraphy and watercolor.
He's played in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and "Guys and Dolls" when he was getting started. Can't wait to hear him sing!
That's all I have time for at the moment, anyways. Fun times!
Hello everybody!!! Rickmania week!!!!!!!! I will be pming witchmom witchmom right now to get the whole week planned out. School has been so busy! Then come home and chores and extra activities and...*long sigh* Must make time for Alan. Fun Fact: Alan loves roller coasters almost (maybe more) than acting. "And thrills make him happy. Roller coaster rides, to be specific. 'Everything falls away.' The best? Colussus at Magic Mountain in valencia, Calif., north of Los Angeles."
