Why Snape? Why do we love him so much?

Courage, loyalty, true to his love (even a long lost love), wit, intelligence, knowledge, to name a few.
Tall, dark, mysterious, indeniably powerful and awesome, he stands out.
A 'bad boy' look around him that makes me fall for him !
To see him endure so much, with such steadfastness, without complaining, is just simply amazing.
I also love how miserable he can look sometimes and I just want to soothe his pain. (Though he would push me off, he doesn't need consolation !)
To say it in one word : he's a real MAN !

Book-wise because he's powerful and loyal. Smart. Brave, funny (even if it is a twisted sense of humor :p) He doesn't take anything from anyone. His sarcasm. He's willing to put aside old differences (he made the wolfsbane potion for Lupin the right way, always on time). He's willing to risk his life for Lily.

In the movies, he's still all those things, but there's the added bonus of Alan Rickman :D

I always like the bad guys... Severus Snape is Severus Snape. He loved Lily so much and hurts me to know that he suffer with that cause i love him so much

Cause he's awesome! Protecting the son of the man who stole your only love away, risking your life on daily basis, being insulted, mocked and tagged as the villian when your secretly the hero. What's not to love? This brilliant, courageous, misunderstood, heroic, sarcastic, side-splitting funny, sexy man is everything you could want in a person!

why well my qeustion is why not?

i am a miny severus. his completments me makes me feel well just as real. like i no longer half to qeustion if i am nto form this world.

severus i feels is the msot developed person and msut intreguing perosn in hp. and as someoen pointed otu to me once upon a tiem that if you ove dumblddor you hlaf to lvoe snape to becuase severus is a miny severus. all over again. the only differences were age up brings and reaosns to crave power btu both new there weakness and stegnths both new why they did the thigns they did nd both were secretive. the major obviosue differenct between the two is severus mena streak and dumbledors kind aptient attudided.

hence the reaosn i love the snmae ablus severus.

Because he's funny and smart

because he is interesting!

cause he's coool

Yes, i think it's because he's so mysterious and we don't know literally anything about him, until the very end ... also he's a hero as we find out, he has sacrificed so much for love, he has risked his own life to protect someone he hates, and i think that's so respectful.

he's awesome the voice the hair
his love for Lilly is inspiring
and he is also loyal to dumbledore
i also like his mystery
but i don't think he really hates harry
he just thinks the wrong way sometimes
and sometimes
that if he looks beyond what he thinks
he'll see of harry and see what we see of harry


I love Alan Rickman no one could play snape better!!!

I love his look his hair his voice his nose his eyes and he is just awesome. I never knew he loved Lily till i read the last book. I think tha's why his patronous is a doe. I thought it would be like a bear or a wolverine boy wuz I wrong! He is so awesome i think he is just a good soul who has sorta lost his way, but we know he is good deep down in his heart. WE LUV U!!!!!!!!

i feel bad for him because his whole life he suffered because of lily dying

Because, because, because!!!

Because he is that one wonderful character that seems to stand out while still hiding in the shadows. The one with whom we can seem to have private little laughs with, about Potter and such. He is a troubled being with whom we can all sympathize. And, like it or not, everyone can relate to him in some way or another.

His eternal love for Lily is (in my opinion) the most appealing aspect of him. It gives you the sense that underneath this seemingly stubborn and cruel man, there is a sensitive and thoughtful heart which fangirls go CRAZY over, including myself!

Even the way he looks sends chills down your spine, in a good way! He always keeps you wanting more because he is so mysterious!

I love him because he's a hero, he's loyal and did his job very well. He's a gray character and that always interested me. I also love him because I can relate to him a lot.

I have always had an open heart for the underdog that is so obviously tormented by a troubled past. You see through the confident grandstanding and see the insecurity that lays beneath. I truly believe yes he loved Lily but could not try to put his heart on the line again due to his abusive and neglectful home life.

I have found my love for him because of Alan Rickman and his performance. He grabbed my full attention for Snape and since the first moment I saw Alan as Snape I was 'his girl'. I can't let go of him. I can't forget him. And, yes, I'm dreaming of him. He is my passion, my first thought in the morning...
You see, it is hard for me to stop this.

Severus Snape embodied characteristics that we can find in all of us. He was strong, steadfast, powerful, intelligent, witty, honorable, mysterious, protective, dark, dangerous, emotional, and a masterful man.
Then the movies added Alan Rickman with his figure, his gestures, his voice, and his eyes that speak volumes.
Its just to much not to love....

He's the character nobody could figure out. Other character were basically good or basically bad but Snape... Twisted, mocking but not evil. He's so funny in a sarcastic way. His back-story is so tragic, and sad though. Easily the most complex and layered character in the books, plus funny, and you have "OMG I luv snape so mch!!!!" all over the Harry Potter community.
