| | |  J.K.Rowling would like to slap Snape
Further news from J.K.Rowling's L.A. stop on her U.S. open tour, this time via MTV, who actually list some of the questions (and answers!) from the session, in which Jo talks about Dumbledore & Snape, amongst other things. Quote:
A wide grin across her face, Rowling said she delighted in the fact that, even after "Deathly Hallows," there was still some speculation as to the true leanings of the erstwhile Potions Master.
"Snape is vindictive, he's cruel. He's not a big man," she insisted. "But he loves. I like him, but I'd also like to slap him hard."
Earlier, Rowling said she was particularly pleased with how Snape's story played out throughout the course of the series, contrasting his character arc with that of Dumbledore.
"Although [Dumbledore] seems to be so benign for six books, he's quite a Machiavellian figure, really. He's been pulling a lot of strings. Harry has been his puppet," she explained. "When Snape says to Dumbledore [toward the end of 'Hallows'], 'We've been protecting [Harry] so he could die at the right moment' — I don't think in book one you would have ever envisioned a moment where your sympathy would be with Snape rather than Dumbledore."
Quote:
Rowling struck a conversational tone during the Q&A session, with quick asides for loud audience reactions (never louder than when she mentioned Lupin and Tonks, two casualties of book seven — their names elicited a deafening "Awww" from the collected readers). When one girl came up to the microphone holding a plush Hedwig doll, Rowling thanked her for bringing the owl back to life, expressing shock that after "Deathly Hallows" was released, most early commenters were upset she killed Harry's pet. "And I murdered a human in the first chapter!" she laughed.

Snape actually turned out to be quite a disappointment to me in DH and I completely understand her desire to slap him.

Jo is absolutely brilliant, there's no doubting that. And I agree with her. I really would like to slap Snape as well. I care about him a lot and all, but I would really just like to slap him for everything that he did... | |

Ah, yes, slap Snape. That has always been quite a dream of mine, though now I don't want to do it as much as before

I think we should instigate a movement wherein we all just take a number and get in line to slap Snape.

I say slap him, then give him a big cuddle. It's obvious Snape was never hugged as a child.

She's totally right about Harry being his puppet.

Harry is a puppet, alright but I don´t see Snape stepping back and just allowing anyone to slap him just like that 
"I don't think in book one you would have ever envisioned a moment where your sympathy would be with Snape rather than Dumbledore."
I´m not so sure about that. Even when I read the first book I was sure that there had to be more to Snape than we were led to believe.

She wants to slap Severus, but has she ever wanted to slap the rich cruel ones, like Sirius and the Malfoys?
I´m just wondering ... | |

I love how she wants to slap her own character, as if they are real or something
After DH I've found that I like Dumbledore less and like Snape more ...

Snape, I think, is far more deserving of a hug than a slap. It's so clear that he never had any real affection in his life.

As a matter of fact, I never felt any simpathy for Snape. I felt even worse for his pettiness, but there's a lot of room for debate here and I don't really want to get there.
On the other hand, I felt a little shocked about Dumbledore, but I managed to understand him a lot better.

I really agree with J.K. Rowling. You can really see the nice sweet of snape in book seven.
