Characters and the way they're developed really do a lot for the story, even if it's badly written. Sometime's not even badly, just... blandly. A lot of people wonder why I still read a lot of novels intended for children anywhere from grade one to grade 6, and the reason is because I like characters. It's why I still pick up a Julie B. Jones book every once in the while, just for giggles. It's not the most brilliant series, but the character is likable and complex enough for me to check in on her every once in a while.

As for Snape, it was the movies that really brought my love of his character to life. He had always intrigued me throughout the books, but he was never a particular favourite of mine since he was just an asshole. All. The. Time. But the humour Alan Rickman brought to the role while still keeping the core personality of the character won me over (that's one of my favourite scenes, by the way). And Apropos... You were the one who introduced me to him. I finished the first novel with mixed feelings towards him, but it ( ... )

Ah, I love Junie B! She's awesome!

My feelings on Snape exactly. Oh Apropos. Such an asshole.

I think I was being more rambley than thorough, but thanks.

Oh good, I'm not the only one. XD Did you know that she's in the first grade now?

Even at the end of the series, he doesn't win. XD

"Confessions of a Boyband “Bad Boy”: The Mostly True Story of Jesse McHenry and Calamity" sounds like something that I would read because of the silliness.

Well, I hope you enjoy the silliness that I post then. Because it all is rather silly.

Seriousness and reality are overrated.
