Ha ha!

I solemnly swear that I answered all the questions on this quiz with complete honesty, or at least picked the answers I honestly thought were closest to the truth of the matter:







What kind of Snapeist are you?




You are an Orthodox Snapeist.
You take Canon!Snape at face value -- like JKR says, Snape is "a deeply horrible person". You like to write/read stories where he's portrayed as supercilious, unfair, often undignified, and sometimes downright cruel. You may accept some partial explanations for his behavior when they're offered in canon, but you're still pretty hard on him, and don't like to let him off the hook. The guy's a nasty, unwashed git -- it says so in the books!
Take this quiz!

Also, while I wouldn't be surprised if [livejournal.com profile] pauraque came up with the notion of sorting Snapeists into denominations on the Jewish model independently, I did propose this very idea on the Snapefans Yahoo!Group back on July 1, 2001. (Boy, am I old.)

which probably puts me at odds w/JKR

Not likely. We're talking about the woman who as good as said in an interview several years ago that Snape's redemption would be an important theme in Book 7. Not to mention admitting in another interview around the same time that Eustace Scrubb was one of her favorite Narnia characters because he was a very unlikeable person who turned good. Sound like anyone we know?

She has obviously realized since that she needs to be cagier about these things, and hasn't mentioned it again lately -- but unless she has decided to completely change her original plans for Book 7, it seems that Snape's redemption (whatever form that redemption may actually take) is a sure thing.

Really? That's great!

Thanks for the correction.
