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 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

Like I said, fair - referring overall more to where people took it (though given she was still writing the back half when the fandom was in full swing, I feel like there's some feedback loop effect as well) But yeah, fair point
