Can I just say how seeing Alan Rickman live in front of me has increased my love for him????????? And add to that, my love for Severus Snape as well! I will simply agree with those guys over
HERE:
"NO1 (of the 50 Greatest Harry Potter characters): Severus Snape
As played by: Alan Rickman
The Character: The saga's tragic hero, Snape has lived a profoundly unhappy life, watching his beloved shack up with the man that made his school days a misery, before eventually giving his life to protect the couple's son. Once the story's revelations have been made in full, his character takes on a whole new complexion, demonstrating just how selfless a man he really is. As Harry puts it, "he is probably the bravest man I've ever known.""
Add to that that earlier they say about Harry: "The best character in the series? Nearly, but not quite..." OH YEAH, BABY! SNAPE RULES ALL!!! Rickman deserves an Oscar for his exceptional performance!
Plus,
THE MAN CAN DANCE A PRETTY HOT TANGO!!!!! *dies of hot and wants to take that girl's place* ;)))
