Did you laugh when you saw this illustration?

I didn't laugh, but it definetly wasn't what I pictured. Especially since the descriptor "curtains of hair around his face" is beat into us since book one.

This isn't the last time Sev is shown to have a goatie. The illistration of him in HBP shows it as well, even though he's never described as having any kind of face hair.

I roflmfao when i saw it!He looks like a version of Jafar from Aladin! Where is his parrot!

That was not at all how I envisioned him either. It took me a while to figure out who it was at first. Not the best drawing of sev.( just randomly popped into my head but I wonder what Snape would do if looked at his fanpop page. That would be interesting. ;)

i did he looks like ganondorf

I sort of laughed but have always thought that the illustrations were somewhat funny. JK Rowling's writing has a somewhat whimsical air. I always thought that the pictures, no matter how serious the situation in the book got, always exuded a touch of humor. So basically, yes, I did laugh, but I don't think it was strange. Although he does look slightly freaky.

But all in all, Harry Potter just wins.

Though a goatee might actually suit him. Not in the Alan Rickman version though, I could imagine him stroking his goatee while thinking. It would also give him more of a menacing look. The hair however...no, that's not Snape. I did laugh at the Spock ears :D

It didn't make me laugh. Since I started reading the books when the 3rd movie was coming out in theaters. I had a hard time envisioning Snape that way. I was already used to Rickman's Snape at that point. But, it didn't stop me from using Alan in my head anyway. LOL!

I know! When I first saw the illustrations, i was like, "DAMN, Snape is ugly!" now that i've seen Alan Rickman, im like "DAMN! he isn't ugly..." ;)

I didn't. I was like, "WHAT THE FUCK?!"

With rickman as Sev can any1 imagine Sev looking awful?

This is a great illustration! I love this image of Snape.

Lol me too! :D
