Quite a surprise since JK seems to find Snape such a horrible person. R.I.P. Severus.

I occasionally hated you, but you are one of the best characters ever, Happy Birthday, Snivellus! (I like the Mauraders a little more)

Rest in peace… I also always knew he’s a “good” guy. Snape is a great character in the books and I think Alan Rickman did a great job on him. Totaly Snape! Happy birthday!

Happy birthday to everyone’s favorite greasy-haired, hook-nosed, mysterious potions master! (Not to mention DADA teacher, prince, singing judge/rapist, melancholy robot, and fallen angel!) (oh. I was talking about Alan Rickman, wasn’t I?)

Changed my avatar for this happy, happy day. Snape is one of the most amazing characters in modern literature. To have people so polarized on a character is incredible. For those Snape loyalists, the release of DH was a vindication. Snapes life was truely a outstanding example of loving being the most powerful magic. Happy Birthday, Severus
