We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The evil is this way?
HP VI -- Frankenbuddha -- I totally understood Snape lashing out at Lily. I think that, if Snape loved Lily, it was unspoken. Then she witnessed him being humiliated and worse, intervened to "save" him. (To go back to BTVS -- "Halloween" I think, Xander was standing up to Bully Larry who was clearly going to beat Xander up. Buffy intervened and "saved" Xander. He was angry at her for doing so, because the beating was temporary but his reputation as a "sissy" would last much longer.) So Snape, in his wounded pride, lashed out at Lily by calling her the nastiest thing he could think of.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
P-C, some of those were hilarious.
My favourite had to be the t /............... one.
Also? Have now seen several episodes of House.
House IS Snape.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Narrator - yeah, that's the one way I can see for it to work. But given that Snape was once a Death Eater for real, there had to have been some genuine prejudices in there somewhere. Although I can also see Snape being more interested in power and skills than with purity.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hec, is your copy of Howl's Moving Castle by any chance a trade paperback? I've found hardcover available online and mass market PB locally, but I'm looking for a trade, if I can find it.
Not the trade, but the mass market PB. But it does have a very nice cover.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I still don't understand Snape calling Lily a "mudblood" when he is one himself!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Well, I think if I were hanging upside down in the air, hoist by my own spell, with my old grey knickers exposed to the elements and the iminent possibility of said knickers vanishing, then Captain Logic would have well and truly left my tugboat. I think he's just lashing out, and it's the first insult to hand. And it sounds like he's got plenty of reason to dislike Muggles, if his father was a git AND a Muggle.
Speaking as someone who was bullied at school, Wee!Snape totally has my sympathy in that scene. His reactions bespeak someone who's been getting this shit from these people a LOT.

And now he has to be all supportive of the son of one of his chief tormentors, said son showing every sign of following in Dad's footsteps. It's a wonder Snape didn't poison Harry in Potions Class Day 1. "My word, Headmaster, I have no idea how he got hold of the monkshood-bubotuber pus elixer. Stupid boy."

How so? I'm curious because I've never seen that much of James in Harry, aside from looks and what Snape infers.
