[I'd begun with material like this. Then Book 7 was released and the final straws fell, inspiring
me to post the

Summer 2007
What fine Nazis you'd make, wallowing in the muck of blind loyalty, never
daring to criticize your idol for what she says, does, or writes, no
matter how much harm her actions may cause.
It disgusts me to have to share the planet and the future with you.
UPDATE August 6, 2007
Okay, the number of fans I've seen with the integrity to suggest that
Rowling's values as expressed in the HP series might warrant debate has
risen to more than five (though I've yet to see any professional critics
or reviewers with that much spine).
It's ironic, of course, that so few of them are Snape fans. I'm aware
that the number of self-professed Snape fans who don't really like Snapes
at all has risen dramatically the last few years. So, as far as SUDDENLY
SEVERUS goes, I remain leery of potential swine rending.
UPDATE Christmas 2009
Yes, I continue to find you unworthy. Nevertheless...
There are more of my thoughts on the subject in my blog (like the entry for May 6, 2008).
