ETA: Just to clarify, because a lot of people are reacting the same way. I'm talking about what I see as inaccurate base characterizations, i.e. what makes up the bedrock of a personality. I'm not talking about secondary or learnerd/acquired traits. So, Snape can be a bastard and like books, but he's not a bastard because he likes books.In no

And I like your icon. Though 'Klaatu, verata, necktie!' is probably my favorite line from that movie. ^_-

I love, love, love that movie. It has so many great lines that I'd be hard-pressed to pick a favourite. I chose this one because I stumbled across the picture and shreiked "ICON" at Faith until she made it for me.

Of course, I also have issues with he'stherealhero!Draco and noredeemingqualities!Harry, so clearly my judgment is not to be trusted.

I really enjoy ordinary-asshole!Snape. The kind of guy who's someone's neighbor or co-worker from hell. The does nasty things to people and is always waiting for someone to attack him in return.
he'stherealhero!Draco drives me nuts! Grr. Arg.

I came in after the first movie came out, as well. I like the idea of tracking down those who were in the fandom before the casting was even announced to get their impressions. That, or hunting down the longest-running HP mls and going back to the early messages, but...that would require effort and I'm nothing if not lazy.

He may be on the side of good, but he's a good example of how petty and vindictive even the good guys can be. Much as his attitude, ( ... )

Yes, me too, so I have an idea. I'll just do a post on my lj about it and we'll see what people have to say. *g*
He brings a bit of much-needed balance on several fronts, and I hate to see that balance...well, unbalanced.
Yes! This very clearly articulates many of the problems with uncanonical characterizations, especially when it comes to Snape. I think he has a very particular role to play in the novels and it doesn't include 'redemption'.
He drives me nuts not just because he's uncanonical, but because he's a thief.
*nods* He's no longer Draco, he's Harry!Draco. The bastard child of wishful thinking and a profound lack of imagination.
