I was talking to my husband and he referenced Thor: Ragnarok when Thor mentions the the snake story. Camera pans to Loki wearing a small smile and my responce was how that was Snape. At least how I picture Snape. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Alan Rickman, but the books refer to Snape as slim or slender whereas Mr. Rickman's physique was perfect for the comfortable lifestyle in Sweeney Todd. My husband then finds a picture showing Tom Hiddleston with a caption about him being a "young" Snape. The thing is, he wouldn't be a "young" Snape. Snape, Lupin, and Pettigrew were all about 20 years older than the Golden Trio depending on how birthdays fall. Mr. Hiddleston is 38 according to my husband's Google search. I enjoy reading HP fanfiction and I dabble in writing a bit though I've never posted any. I apologise for this post's lack of cohesion; my mind is more on a story I'm writing combining the HP universe and a series of dreams I've had. Since discovering how young Snape and the others truly were, I've struggled with how to actually picture them vs. the movies. I'm reveling in having a concrete image in my head of my favorite HP character now and I thank anyone who bothered reading this mess of words to its end. May Alan Rickman rest peacefully and long live creativity.
