Thank you all for stirring my interests.

(And is it wrong of me to hope that Harry takes on the sidekick role for once and add some necessary homoerotic undertones?)

You totally caught me off guard, and I don’t think I got my meaning of ‘pets’ across correctly. ^-~

And I heard a very familiar SCREAM then. Yay. The whole event was like that. *waves to everyone else who was there*

I have been reading the Mugglenet forums,and could you please enact Inky’s Hogwarts Staff Meetings?

Numchuks forever!

“She also stated during the Veira interview that Snape was a tragic HERO. So I do not believe that she hated him, or misunderstood him, as much as Ms Winters thinks. She had to deliberately mislead us over the years so that the final denouement was tragic, yet poignant.”

I just had to point out Tarsie’s excellent comment up there. I absolutely don’t believe JKR hated Snape, and it’s clear to me that her comments regarding him from previous years (who could ever love him, bla bla bla) were said to deliberately create Snape loyalty-doubt so when his secrets were revealed it was all the more tragically powerful. She had to cast doubt cuz of the, you know. Drama. But she knew at the time that he was loved, thus nullifying her comments as red herrings. That naughty minx. :p

I strongly disagree with cmwinters and Becca regarding Snape’s portrayal and JKR’s treatment of him, but it’s their right to have that opinion and we’ve all got them, so…yeah.

Thanks for a great episode! I commend you for showing all views on the book–not just praise and not just condemnation.

Btw, the music you use is so gorgeous! I often have to visit iTunes and get some of it after listening to the episodes.

Another btw: Shannon, I don’t know if anyone’s ever told you this, but your voice is so soothing and nice! It’s just comforting and good to listen to. :-)

YOU are awsome Meagan!! xDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Thanks for all the happy Snape fandom moments. :)

*sniff* I’ll miss him…

I was wondering though, for a future episode perhaps, if you were ever planning to do a segment on the Snapecasters/Snapecast-listener “likeness” to Snape? I mean, when you have spent som much time Snaping as we have I think it inevitable that we not aquire some of his traits..? In my case, I don
t know if it is accidentally or not, but I am going back to uni this fall to study pharmacy.. The Snapiest subject in the muggle world =) Kinda funny really because I hadn
t thought about it before a friend of mine (one of the few who knows about my obsession) asked me if from now on she would have to adress me as “Liv, the potions mistress”. So now I seriously think I
m gonna adopt that as my work title =)

Just a little snippet of the depravity that is a norwegian Snape-fangirl
s life.

And Shannon, nice to hear you using my phrase from an earlier comment “the great release”! You never know how things really sound when writing another language.. So great to know it works for you too! And it really was a release wasn
t it.. But the greatness I don
t know about..

Looking forward to ep. 21. I could really need that group therapy session soon!

Liv

Srsly that was THE most brilliant episode ever. THANK YOU for making my Post Traumatic Snape Syndrome easier. I love you guys!

SO MUCH!

*in tears*

SNAPE FAN 4EVA!

XOXOXO

But, OMG – Meagan, you had me rolling in the aisles! You did not announce that it was you at the beginning of your piece, but I just knew that that sarcastic, hilarious wit had to be you! Snapeman! I’m still chuckling! Thank you for putting him into some much needed perspective. Such a silly girl, thanks so much.

Tarsie – transcription troll

Thank you.

I laughed so much at Meagan’s review. Especially the extended children’s names and the batman idea! I loved Chris’s impression of Hagrid too!

Great job!

I’ve been enjoying Snapecast for a while and I didn’t even like Snape, but listening to you people’s thoughts made me realize Snape was more than a nasty guy – he was a really cool character – I still hated his guts – but he intrigued me immensely and after DH, I like him slightly, though his flaws are still too big for me to feel like he’s a character I can relate to or feel sorry for.

Even thought I had anticipated what was going to happen to Severus Snape in this book (my crystal ball works better than Trelawney
s) I felt devastated after I read the book. I just couldn
t accept that my theories had become canon because they were toooo depressing. I was hoping it would be like this but anyway I found the book incredibly dark and so very sad I couldn
t help crying in some passages – not only snapey passages.

I love the book. And I love you guys!!. It
s great to listen to you again. I have all your podcasts in my portable HD and listen to them while walking or cleaning up the house. You inspire me and give lots of fun. It
s good to know I
m not the only one snapeaholic freak in the world it makes me fell less freaky!.

Good luck with that contest.

Love from Spain.

I was thinking of “sending a letter” from one of the book characters. I know you don’t generally have that, but could I still do it?

Thank God we have Spanecast! Without your guys, my Experiance of DH would have been very very dark :(

PS – I can comment again, yay!

This might be the best episode yet, made me tear up, laugh, anxious, thankful and whatnot. All you Snapecasters are amazing people with really rare qualities.

Well, that`s what Snape does for us, right?! Make us “better” people. *winkwink*

With love, Anita

This was the best podcast yet, I think, due to the fact that the raw shock was evident in almost all of your reactions. I can’t wait for the next ‘cast when we’ve all had enough time–

-A Devoted Troll

In the past 3 weeks I have watched POA and GOF films again, re-read OOTP and HBP, seen the new flick and listened to all 20 Snapecasts. Since finishing the book, weeping, on an airplane Monday night, I have anxiously awaited this episode. I can barely wait for Dr. Lookfar’s session, and will trot off and see if an epitaph or portrait of Our Dark Hero is ready to emerge from my subconscious.

Love and Condolensces to all SnapeFans,

yours truly,

Venturous

Meagan, you’re the first person to make me see our tragic hero from a literally “comic” point of view since I finished book seven.

That “19 Years Later” Epilogue was hilarious too!

Keep it up! You really deserve an award!
Long live Snapecast and the Snape-fandom!
