Eeeeenh The books specifically describe Snape as unattractive and gross ("greasy haired", etc) because Rowling always does that with characters whom we're supposed to dislike He got a bigger leather pants retcon with the movie than Dracohttps://twitter.com/the_moviebob/status/1314756950215843840 …

Like his big defining "He really is that petty" scene is the moment when Hermione's cursed with her front teeth growing uncontrollably and he goes "I see no difference" There's no way to justify that even just as "having a short temper", that's outright bullying

I mean this is what I mean, no offense to Bob Maybe not everyone has it as bad as the Snapewives but the "fanon" of what this character represents to them is wild and it's drifted INCREDIBLY far from where the character started

Like the joke that JKR was "typing one-handed" when writing Snape is ridiculous No she wasn't He's not sexy in the books, not for most of the series, not at all He's awful and you know very clearly he's supposed to be awful (because Jo is not a subtle writer)

He's written so that you constantly want to see him get punched in the face, he's a sneering oily scumbag prick James' explanation of why he bullies Snape at school ("It's just that I'm offended he exists") isn't supposed to need much elaboration

The leather pants phenomenon is really powerful and it wildly skews people's memory of everything that came before it, his heroic turn in Book 7 is an attempt at a hard retcon that came off because it was feeding fans' hunger for such a thing
