Snape's hate of Harry, Our Hero, is one of the most clever things in the books. It's refreshing to have major allies dislike each other so much.
Kaylee: So, uh, how come you don't care where you're going? Book: 'Cause how you get there is the worthier part.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Wrod. Back on TT, someone far more clever than I defined Snape as the opposite of the Villain with the Heart of Gold: The Hero with the Heart of Crap.

Oh yeah, I love how Snape's not evil: he's just really fucking bitter.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

The more I read of Harry? The more I sympathise with Snape. Seriously, I've not seen a kid in more need of a smack upside the head.
(I also have suspicions that Dumbledore isn't as pure as we've been led to believe, but argument for that is kind of flimsy.)
I'm still enamored of the Dumbledore-is-Ron theory.

The Dumbledore is Ron?
Please to explain.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Snape hating Harry has never struck me as clever. It's just...there. If I can't have a reason for it (even if it's "that's just how Snape is"), I'd at least like to know why he gets away with it in loco parentis.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
If Draco's got Muggle blood in him, seems like the Malfoy side is more likely, since Narcissa's a Black and we know an awful lot about that family tree.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hell, yeah. And, as irritatingly written as it was in OoP, I like that James-at-Hogwarts was kind of a jackass, and that Snape was just the nerd he picked on.
