I am Snape, the Potions Master. You will do as I say or you will face the consequences. And if you're a Gryffindor, you will most likely face the consequences whether or not you do as I say.
I am not Muggle rock star Robert Smith of The Cure.
Should you be inclined toward intelligent conversation, potion-making, the Dark Arts, or instruments of torture, you can find me in my dungeon or lurking around Dumbledore's Pensieve like an overgrown bat looking for rule-breakers to punish and correcting grievous errors.
Consider yourselves warned.

Okay, I was wrong, that's not Robert Smith. But you can hardly blame me...I mean, pale, wan, detached, snooty, British...but I repeat myself. But that pic also isn't Snape. That's clearly Colin Firth as Vermeer in "Girl with a Pearl Earring".   See the resemblance? |

By the way... the offer still stands. That is... if you are interested. 2 days. You can still change your mind.

They're both brooding Englishmen who want to beat poncy pretty-boys with posh accents to a pulp. As Snape hates Lockhart and James and, well, everyone, so too does Colin Firth despise Hugh Grant (or so the Love Actually DVD commentary would have us believe). The main difference, of course, is that Colin Firth looks good in a wet cravat. And let's leave it at that, shall we? *shudders and goes to take a bath* |

You have missed one important detail, Mr. Brother: Unlike myself, Colin Firth requires chin-derwear. The main difference, of course, is that Colin Firth looks good in a wet cravat. And let's leave it at that, shall we? Both tactless and revolting, Miss Kroze. I expect better from you. Ten points from Ravenclaw. By the way... the offer still stands. That is... if you are interested. 2 days. You can still change your mind. Give me two days, two weeks, two years, or two eternities in which to respond, Miss Croww, and I still wouldn't change my mind. |

As Snape hates Lockhart and James and, well, everyone, so too does Colin Firth despise Hugh Grant (or so the Love Actually DVD commentary would have us believe). We may indeed have found the secret to Snape's general unpleasantness: He hates poncy pretty boys with posh accents. And, being stuck in Britain, EVERYONE is a poncy pretty boy with a posh accent. Well, most people are, anyways, and the rest are rough characters with cockney accents. Which, as a good Slytherin, Snape also despises as hopelessly low-class and ill-bred. The main difference, of course, is that Colin Firth looks good in a wet cravat. And let's leave it at that, shall we? The main difference is that "Colin Firth" and "looks good" can actually be said in the same sentence without cracking up. *shudders and goes to take a bath* "Unclean, Unclean!"  |

Well. I've gotten married. Sorry. You had your chance.

Well, most people are, anyways, and the rest are rough characters with cockney accents. You have neglected the West Midlands-dwelling unexceptionally handsome folks speaking Lackadaisacal Coventrine. They are neither posh, nor cockney and almost take offense when Americans determine that there is only either/or in British society. Not that Snape doesn't hate them as well. In fact, I'm almost positive he does -- though, I find their way of speech most amusing ...  And ... I can understand the abhorrence of 'poncy pretty-boys' but, does he hate the 'posh accent' on account of it being associated with aforementioned pretty boys or does he hate the posh accents as a separate trait? If the latter be true, has Snape created his own dialect and diction? |

If the latter be true, has Snape created his own dialect and diction? Due to the frequency of instantaneous travel in the wizarding world, mere Muggle dialects could not begin to describe the complexity of my speech. Only those wizards hampered by unusual circumstances of immobility or the misfortune of Muggle relations seem able to be classified with such distinctions. My Auror associate in the Order, Nymphadora Tonks, for example, has Muggle grandparents, dresses in Muggle fashion, and speaks with a distinct London accent. |

If the latter be true, has Snape created his own dialect and diction? Well, Snape has the Slytherin tendency to hiss the sibilant consonants in his speech...Lucius Malfoy has a similar habit. Couple it with Snape's tendency to wear button-bestrewn robes that are half a step removed from a dress, and Lucy-boy's penchant for leather, and one does start to wonder about the real reason Snape's single and Lucy-boy only has one kid. And Lolua, please remove "my (synonym for both donkey and gluteus maximus)" from the list of censored words. When Snape wrote of his associate Tonks, his use of the first-person possessive before the word "associate" ended up getting censored. I really, really hate auto-censor programs. Censorship should be left to the evil dictators. |

Honestly, this censorship debacle has gone on for far too long. I have edited my own post to trick the system until such time as the so-called "Great" Maker sees fit to remove such ridiculous restrictions.
And I am taking ten points from Ravenclaw for the inconvenience this has caused me. If this happens again it will mean a detention for you, Miss Kroze.

Go ahead and give her detention. It'll be funny.
