Re: Tell us about widely-accepted fanon in your fandoms
Quite a big number of people, however, have twisted the character beyond recognition and where there was a bitter, ugly, vengeful, hateful, damaged man obsessed with dark magic is a ruggedly handsome, misunderstood, selfless prince.

I think it comes down to people feeling they can't like an unlikeable character so they need to make him likeable.

"I think it comes down to people feeling they can't like an unlikeable character so they need to make him likeable."
Yeah, this.
I live for problematic characters personally. I think a lot of the Snape bias has to also do with people identifying with some parts his background (an outsider; bullied) and then projecting their own qualities on him (managed to mature into adults who don't bully kids entrusted to their care) and softening his flaws (his obsession with dark magic does not equal an obsession with death metal or something like that).
