This week has been slow for Snape News too, and once again, I just found more Spoilers for Deathly Hallows Part 2.
You probably won't want to read them either, but as I could find nothing else, I thought I might as well post it. I didn't read the article myself, but from things I've accidentally read elsewhere, I can tell you a couple things.
For one, the directors felt bad for making Snape's part minimal in Half-Blood Prince(which they should, the bloody gits), so they tried to get a lot of Snape in there. They're also changing some Snape scenes, but I'm not sure which. They better not change anything important, or I'll be furious. But of course, they think they're changing it for the better and a 'better cinematic experience'.
Anyway, if you're one of the kinds of people that want Spoilers, go ahead: http://www.reelmovienews.com/2011/04/producers-talk-harry-potter-and-the-deathly-hallows-part-2-spoil/

Snape Picture of the Week #8
Yeah, this is pretty silly. See, a while ago, I was searching on Google and started to type in "Snape with" and one of the suggestions was "Snape with pancakes on his head." Needless to say, I clicked on it, and this came up. Apparently, it's a viral photo(or was at some point)... Afterwards, I couldn't remember what I was searching for in the first place.
When you think about it, this doesn't even look anything like Snape. It just has his clothes(sort of... it has his cape floating on nothing) and his hair. I usually don't like chibi-style fanart, because I think chibi is for people that can't draw, but I just had to post this. It's just so random.
I'm really hungry for pancakes now.

Snape Site of the Week #1
There just aren't enough parts of Snape to lecture you guys about forever... So I'm introducing a new topic to replace How To Be Like Snape: Snape Sites. This will last 7 weeks, then there'll be a new topic, and so on.
Here, I'll be reviewing other Snape/Alan Rickman related websites.
So this week, I found the best Snape Canon website that could possibly exist. It has original drafts from JK Rowling, pretty much all the Snape quotes in all the books, and a full Snape timeline, plus other things. The timeline is really useful if you're writng a fanfic and want to stay as in Canon as possible...
I have it on my favorites bar for easy access, because it's so awesome! :D

Fanfiction Friday #8
Well, '7' Week is over. Not that anything changed, but it's so awesome I've been doing nothing but Snape-related things for over 7 weeks straight!
Anyway, I decided to venture out of the norm and look for a fic besides Snape/Lily and Snape/Hermione. I decided not to try and read any slash, because it's just hard to see Snape with a guy. It's just wrong. What I did find, though, was a fic called The Real Me, which is Snape/Trelawney.
Siriusly, you won't believe how many of those there are. On fanfiction.net, there were only about 38, but I know there's more on other websites and I honestly expected there to only be a few. And of the 38 that came up in the search, I was even more surprised to find that most of them were long, and actually pretty literate. I think the main appel for this ship is that Emma Thompson is in so many other movies with Alan Rickman as his love interest/wife that people wanted them to be together in HP as well.
Anyway, it's 20 chapters and completed, and was created for the 'Potter Place Anything Goes Challenge.' In it, Sybill Trelawney comes out of hiding, and returns to her supposed previous appearance and personality. If you're already confused, you'll have to read it to understand. She finds out Snape's still alive, partly because of Fawkes. Now, when I read that Fawkes saved him, I got really excited because I was just thinking about that a few days ago! Fawkes couldn't have died with Dumbledore... and when Harry was in the Chamber of Secrets, Fawkes swooped in and saved him and stuff. Why couldn't he have swooped in and saved Severus?
This story has a unique and awesome plot, and even though it's an unlikely pairing, it actually starts to makes sense. Trust me, you'll want to read it.

Snape Quote of the Week #7
Snape's pale face, illuminated by the flaming cabin, was suffused with hatred just as it had been before he had cursed Dumbledore.
"You dare use my own spells against me, Potter? It was I who invented- I, the Half-Blood Prince! And you'd turn my inventions on me, like your filthy father, would you? I don't think so... no!"
Harry had dived for his wand; Snape shot a hex at it and it flew feet away into the darkness and out of sight.
"Kill me then," panted Harry, who felt no fear at all, but only rage and contempt. "Kill me like you killed him, you coward-"
"DON'T-" screamed Snape, and his face was suddenly demented, inhuman, as though he was in as much pain as the yelping, howling dog stuck in the burning house behind them- "CALL ME COWARD!"
This is from The Half-Blood Prince, after Snape killed Dumbledore and Harry chased after him.
It almost makes me cry when his face is described as being screwed up with hatred, because we know he hated Dumbledore for making him kill him, and so that leaves us to ask- Was it the same kind of hate? Was it even towards Harry? I bet it was still hatred for Dumbledore for making him do what he did, which he knew had turned everyone against him.
Then, when he yells at him for trying to use his own spells and admits to being the Half-Blood Prince, I can't help but wonder if he thought after knowing he was the Half-Blood Prince, then he might rethink his hatred for Snape. Otherwise, I want to cry for how mad he is. This is a pivotal point in the book, and the film adaptation completely ruined it! By just watching the film, you can't feel how angry he's supposed to be! And he's supposed to yell all this, not silently curse Harry, walk up to him, and be all, "Yes, I'm the Half-Blood Prince."
His face was demented, inhuman. Because of Snape, whenever I hear the word "coward", I stiffen a little. For him, being called a coward makes him so angry he loses all control, and he could have killed Harry in his rage. He's anything but a coward; He's the Bravest Man I Ever Knew. But seriously, he's fighting against every fiber in him... Harry has no idea of the choices that Snape faces. Only true bravery can allow a person to do that and not collapse under the pressure. And yes, I stole that from a Ministry of Magic song.

Snape Insults YOU #7
Snape Insults Rebecca Black
Miss Black, I'd have expected you to live up to your prestigious name, but once again, I was wrong. Your talent is less than nothing compared to that of Narcissa's, Bellatrix's, or Andromeda's... and yet, you bear a striking resemblance to Sirius... after he escaped from Azkaban. Yes- YES, Miss Black, I know it's Friday, but the only thing that's going to get down is your grade, and I doubt you'll pass this year. Why are you so excited for the weekend? Oh, you're not going to Hogmeade. You'll be spending that time with Flitwick, learning how to rhyme. I never thought I'd say it, but you forced me; Ten points from Slytherin.

Snape Video of the Week #7
Snape's Diary
If you're obsessed enough with Snape to follow this Blog, I'm assuming you're obsessed with Harry Potter in general, and if you are, you should have at least heard of Potter Puppet Pals, if you don't watch and re-watch the videos avidly.
This is one of their newer ones, and because it's Snape related, it's my favorite. I suggest you watch the extended version, because there's extra stuff and you can never get enough Snape. Here: http://tinyurl.com/NeilHETV
It's so freaking hilarious, but honestly, it's sort of sad. Or at least, it makes me sort of sad. I mean, there'sno doubt that if Severus actually kept a diary, it would be something like this.
I hope he finds his button.
