When did you start liking snape?

From the moment he taught his first potions lesson. I was entertained by his spiky sarcasm, since I'm a sarcastic person as well (with a rather sharp tongue). I loved his first speech. And was touched when I learned he saved Harry from the bucking broom. He became one of my favourite characters when I learned about his love for Lily.

since the first harry potter came out. snape wos, is, and always wil be the most awesome gothy teachery potiony defenceagainstthedarkartsy thingy person ever

Right from the start! I even still liked him when it looked like he was on the side of evil...but I like him even better that he's good. I can honestly say that Snape is the reason why I'm a fan of the HP books.

Well, I must say I love Rickman´s Snape, in fact. Alan has given him more handsome face. Because in HP books, this character is much more malicious, unfair. No way is he likable. But from that moment Harry had called him a coward and he was so furious because of it, from than moment I was sure he´s a good man. And when he killed Dumbledore, I knew there had to be some agreement between the two of them.

So, there I was reading the books. And Professor Snape, well, from the start he was the only character that - well, really unknown. Oh, he was witty and sarcastic. He was a professor, and head of house for Sytherin, Dumbledore trusted him, and there was, from the start, that question "Is he...." on our side or their side......
Then Alan Rickman comes striding on screen with that....just that Presence! And you become doubly fascinated.
Then you find out he is a Deatheater, but he's also in the Order of the Phoenix. He's supposedly friends with Lucius Malfoy, but he and Minerva Mcgonagol also seem to be friends and sarcastic snarky rivals.
His character was the one throughout the whole books that just kept having more added to it. Everyone else was straightforward, from the beginning you knew what their goal was, what they were, WHO they were.
Severus Snape was a character that just kept acquiring more sides, more complexity, more history, more character.....He became just MORE.

The last movie part 2 when I watched Snapes love for lily that scene when he is holding her crying I was heart broken and when dumbledore was saying that Harry must die and asks snape that after all of this time you have grown to live the boy? It was amazing I watched the previews movies and understood snape better he always loved Harry but was scared that he would be more like his father. I read the Deathly Hallows for the first time and read only the chapter The Princes Tale that is officially when I became TEAM SNAPE! love you (always)

In all honesty, I never liked Snape. He might have loved Lily, but that didn't stop him treating Harry like dirt. Love does not make the world go round.

With the exception of book three, I've always been fond of Snape. The books needed someone aside from Voldemort who didn't get along with Harry, and Snape's motives made for great debate when the books were still running and everyone was having "what the **** is this dude up to?!!" arguments. 'specially after Dumbledore.

Yeah, I started liking him from the first book. I initially found him to be more of an interesting character than anything else, but as I've gotten older, I've come to like him more and more, and now he's one of my favourite characters of all time. :/ I might even be...slightly obsessed with him now...

I don't remember the exact time I began to like Snape. But if I'm not mistaken, it was after seeing the 3rd movie that my cousins asked me who was the hottest character. I answered Snape, because his lines + Alan Rickman's voice = ... AMAZING. And he wasn't the linear villain either. Unpredictable. But I LOVED Snape after reading the final book. He turned out to be the ICON of misunderstood friendzoned men.. and you could totally relate to that.

since the first book ;)

i liked him instantly, then it turned to hatred with dumbledor and love when he died..

Right from the beginning when he stormed in to his Potions class and didn't take no s**t, loved his character his mysterious, dark ways didn't expect him to be good loved his evil but humor way, he is the only character i have liked all the way through and not replaced by another he is my absolute fave, cried my eyes out when he died.

The moment I saw him!!!
At first I liked him because he praised Draco Malfoy (My Love!! <3)
But then when I found out he was part of the order...I LUVED him!!
But I wish he was on the evil side...I woulda luved him even more..

At the beginning of Chamber of Secrets, but I kind of liked him before that. But I trusted him from the moment we met him.

I never liked him and still don't. After seeing the last movie and his memories I have sympathy for him but I still don't like him.

after i saw the story behind him in the 7th book/movie

At the very beginning.

When I saw the first movie and the first look that Alan shot at Harry, at that moment something happened to me. I was impressed, i was his. And I know that I'll never forget that! It has changed my whole life.

For some reason i ignore, i since a little girl, was fond of villians, i think there was a reason why they were like that, my last was Snape since the first book when i read it in year 2001. My childhood was difficult as his...i began to feel identified with him and up til now i love him so much. When i read that he killed Dumbledore i got sick i almost puke. Then talking with friends we began to speculate that it couldn't be and so on...then he turned out to be good! I would love him if evil i think.

I feel rather gullible now, but I did not like nor trust Snape in book 1. (I blame my younger age, where I simply went along with Harry's own thoughts).

At the end of book 1, it revealed that Snape was NOT the villain. I have liked and trusted him ever since. Even through the dark times.

I've liked Snape right from the beginning. I knew he was always an eccentric good guy from the moment I was introduced to the character.

i like him since the beginning.......:)

Before I even started liking HP, pretty much from the time my friend mentioned his name.
....Actually Snape's the reason I became interested in it.

1st books/movie but definitely 2be movie
