ericadawn16Day 5 - Favorite male character and why
Severus Snape
Why?
Alan Rickman Yep, I'm shallow enough to admit that but I will explain. Long ago, in 2000, there were only books where Snape was mean to Harry, Sirius and just about everyone. I HATED him! Then, they started casting the first film and Alan Rickman was cast as Snape.
METATRON!!!
I loved Metatron and the more I thought about his sarcastic humor and general dourness, the more I felt Alan would be perfect for Snape. I just didn't bargain on the unthinkable...
that Alan would make me start to like Snape. I hesitated at first: separating movie Snape from book Snape. However, Rowling seemed to be in cahoots because Snape became more and more tragic as the books continued. I realized how hopelessly I had fallen for Snape when I cheered at his becoming the Defense against the Dark Arts professor...finally and cried and had to put Deathly Hallows in the freezer after his death. Admittedly, his death was one of many that became too much: Snape, Remus, Tonks, Fred...all within like ten pages.
Also, it turns out that Alan played Snape that way because he knew all along Snape's whole story, birth to death. Gosh, look at this scene here...I want to hug him.
Runners Up...that I also love very dearly:
Sirius, Remus and Dobby
