**SPOILER ALERT TO ANYONE STILL READING THROUGH THE HARRY POTTER SERIES FOR THE FIRST TIME**

So if I am honest, I have a pretty unhealthy obsession with that Snape guy. To the point where one of my closest friends didn’t even have to think twice of what to get me as a souvenir from London when she went on her honeymoon.

There are many things about this Snape guy that I find appealing. But, firstly, let me start with what is unappealing, mainly his dying in the 7th book. I was so devastated. I had to put the book down. And make a long distance call to my cousin on the other side of the globe to discuss my angst with this narrative turn. It was gut-wrenching. Or throat-slitting, in this case.

So, like many fans who cannot accept the fate that J.K. Rowling has bestowed upon Mr.Snape, I turned to “fan fiction”. And I say turned, because I enjoy lying to myself, because I still presently peruse fan fiction sites to see other people’s take on how that Snape guy managed to thwart his untimely demise.

I suppose I could delve into my personal theory, however I do not know how much patience you have as a reader, so I will spare you from missing anything important that I have to say by letting you know that anything in italics is probably just more of my own conspiracy theories revolving the death of Severus Snape. Which means you can safely skip past these sections of this log. (TBC)
