Question:

Harry Potter fans - Why is Snape Subjected to Sexy Depictions?

There's a ton of stuff out there that depicts Snape as this desirable hottie, from fan art to fanfics (some of which have been banned because of their overt sexual material). There's even videos on YouTube dedicated to his sexiness. It's very bizzare, seeing as these outpourings seem to be based on Alan Rickman's portrayal of Snape, not the novels' character.

I can't really put my finger on any one, good reason. Any ideas or theories?

Poor Snape - can't the Potions Master get a little respect?

Cheers!! :)


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: maybe because there's something sexy about a person who's not totally good and not totally evil, something alluring about him. once the movie was out, he became the face of snape, just like radcliffe became the face of harry potter, cant really separate them anymore... especially since they were sanctioned by the writer.
besides, maybe he just cast a spell on everyone to be totally turned on by him.
