Book Snape vs. Movie Snape

Snape was interesting enough in himself to be Lily's best friend for years. Until he went off track. YOu guys are denying a very interesting character reality just because you don't like him as portrayed from Harry's perspective.

Snape, apart from Harry Potter, is the most interesting character, the most intriguing character, the most ignored character (by fans) in the series. And some good people are really not very nice to be around. Since when does good mean nice? Just imagine Snape as out-of-control Death Eater and and I think you'd have a really nasty character - one capable of vying with Voldemort for pure evilness. But you don't get that. You get an incredibly interesting fellow with some obvious warts.

It all comes clear in THE DEATHLY HALLOWS.

Oh but I don't deny that Snape is interesting. For me he is the MOST interesting character out there, more interesting than Harry.
