  1. Prior to seeing Rickman's portrayal as Snape, I had seen him as the Sheriff of Nottingham (Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, 1991). Grigori Rasputin (Rasputin, 1996), and Eamon de Valera (Michael Collins, 1996). All of these roles were quite intense and somewhat menacing, so in my eyes, Rickman seemed the perfect choice to play Professor Snape. Immediately, he brought the book character to life, and he was Snape in every sense of the word. I agree with Louis (and others) that Snape changed drastically as the series progressed. I will say that of all the characters, he sent me plunging down the proverbial roller-coaster more than most. From mean Professor to Voldemort's right-hand-man and then hero, I never knew exactly what to feel about him. My emotions were seriously all over the place. All in all, he was truly one of my favorite characters.
