I am with you, anon, entirely. I feel like fandom has almost ruined him for me. I think he's fascinating, in part because he's a complete fucking asshat and I want to kick him in the face. But the way fandom romanticizes everything about him makes me resent hearing his name. I even resent the word "Always".

I don't take people seriously when they say he's their favourite character and then go off about how honorable and kind and selfless and sexy (WUT) he was. That's not Snape, guys, that's Alan Rickman in Sense & Sensibility or some shit, not the dickhead Potions master who bullied his students and invented violent dark magic and took out his personal fucked up emotions on an 11 year old boy. It's kind of telling when you have to blame all his wrongdoings on the people around him just to make him remotely likable.

A+ rant. I can't even stand talking to other Snape fans anymore, being one who thinks his mean comments and rage problems are kind of integral to the character. (And also funny, because it's so over-the-top.)

Ha, I thought I was the only one who now feels rage towards the word "always." I mean, really. It's a word. BUT IT DRIVES ME CRAZY.

I'm glad I'm not alone here. I actually don't feel like I can relate to other fans of Snape at all... while he IS my favorite in the entire series and one of my top favorite fictional characters from ANY fandom, I certainly do not justify his behavior or make excuses for him. I think its very blind that fans can defend him yet hate on James for some of the same reasons. I love him, but I can also admit to myself that he is a terrible, awful person (but endlessly fascinating and entertaining). I can only like him because he is fictional (I am hopelessly addicted to anti-heroes).
