Ha ha!

I solemnly swear that I answered all the questions on this quiz with complete honesty, or at least picked the answers I honestly thought were closest to the truth of the matter:

Heh, I got that one too. Those quizzes are addictive.

Hey, I remember that post!
...you're still a member of the list? How's it doing? (I can't believe it's been 3 years since I left...)

[rj_anderson]

Nope, not a member. I just rejoined it tonight so I could search for that post. :)

Ah, the good old days...

[meril]

I'm just surprised the list still exists for it to be joined, considering how much of fandom's moved over to LJ in the interim. (You didn't even get to LJ until Dec 2002; I just found my entry where you asked for a code.)

Yes, the good old days, for certain values of "good."

Left snapefan ages ago, don't remember why now! Anywho, the quiz says I'm a Reform Snapeist, which doesn't surprise me at all. But only 15% of the respondents to the quiz agree with me. That too is not surprising.

Heh heh. I saw this quiz elsewhere on the friendslist, and immediately knew I would be seeing it from you in no time. I think I'm an orthodox snapeist: I would trust him with my life, but I don't like him much, and I would rather not invite him to tea.

I wouldn't trust him with my life... but I do find stories of redemption even from the bottom of the pit (Snape is rather a rotter in his own petty, bitter way) much more interesting than, "See, he was bad all along" - which probably puts me at odds w/JKR.

[rj_anderson]

which probably puts me at odds w/JKR

Not likely. We're talking about the woman who as good as said in an interview several years ago that Snape's redemption would be an important theme in Book 7. Not to mention admitting in another interview around the same time that Eustace Scrubb was one of her favorite Narnia characters because he was a very unlikeable person who turned good. Sound like anyone we know?

She has obviously realized since that she needs to be cagier about these things, and hasn't mentioned it again lately -- but unless she has decided to completely change her original plans for Book 7, it seems that Snape's redemption (whatever form that redemption may actually take) is a sure thing.

[carbonelle]

Really? That's great!

Thanks for the correction.
