In the old days, they would keep people waiting for months while deciding what should be a "famous Mugglenet editorial." It's incredible that they turned down the bullying essay that we eventually posted on HPN, but now they print this drivel week after week.
I can't say anyhing more about how I view Snape and why I disagree with opinions like this than what I've already posted in the previous discussion. And I'm getting more and more sissapointed with mugglenet. This is pretty much as low as it can get. My first thought was that one of the editors is either a good friend of the author of this "essay" or he/she is a sore looser after his/her favourite lost to Snape in the MTV and Bloomsbury polls.
Meh. Haters gonna hate. I just smugly read these (or not), smirk to myself, and say, "What an idiot. Obviously refuses to see the evidence right in front of their faces. And I loved Snape long before the movies came out. I was always Team Severus."
I guess what annoys me about these is they all assume that anyone who loves Sev saw the movies first, and is misplacing their love for Alan Rickman onto the character of Snape. How shallow. But then, what can you expect from someone who reads Snape so shallowly in the first place?
Same here. Infact, I hated most of the cast for the movies at first, especially Rickman, who was 30 years older than the role. As the story went on his performance grew on me and after DH Parts 1 and 2 I now fully accept him. Movie!Snape still has nothing to do with how I see book Snape in my head though. I agree that these people have a shallow vies on the character and as far as I've seen it, on most of the story and characters in general. To them, it's unimaginable that people could like a character like Snape, a "gothic hero" as someone's icon here said. They must try and find a reason for it and I guess the easiest one for them is to blame it all on Rickman-love.
You say "To them, it's unimaginable that people could like a character like Snape, a "gothic hero" as someone's icon here said." But I find the exact opposite from Snape fans. To them, it's unimaginable that people could dislike this character and not have the exact same opinion of him as them. It's traitorous. If we don't think like Snape fans, if we don't love Snape in the same manner, we're evil trolls.
Heaven forbid someone have an opinion that is not yours and they write an article for Mugglenet. It wasn't me, but I agree with everything that was written in that article.
Snape isn't the only thing worth talking about. Far from it. He just happens to be the one that generates alot of chatter on both sides. Why? Because the fangirls come out in droves and they hate on anyone who doesn't agree with them. From the other side, it's hilarious to see how worked up they get when someone says Snape isn't all that and a bag of chips.
You're right ~ it's hilarious, but not for the reason you name. It's hilarious because people are clinging to the life raft of their own hatred and ignoring the canon, which they can't accept. Instead of letting it go, they want to preach to the Snape fans and put us back in our place. Good luck with that! *LOL

Oh I think they should have shown the Marauders bad behaviour. There should have been something in the films that showed just because a child behaves badly as a child, it doesn't mean that that child will grow up to become a terrorist and enlist in a bigoted conspiracy to torture and murder. By showing this it could be seen that yes, James overcame his arrogance and bullying tendencies to become a fine man and a warrior for the light. Compare that with Snape who willing enlisted with a group of criminals and only changed because he helped get the woman he obsessed over killed and who never stopped being an abuser. I think people have the brains to see who overcame his drawbacks as a child and who didn't.
You're right. People are ignoring canon. It's awful. I feel like we aren't reading the same books. It's crazy. Did the Snape fans get different versions

Edited to Add: I'm embarrassed for them, really.
