I'm sure I've told you this before, but I will again (hey, it's not as if I ever have a problem talking about Snarry *g*). I stared reading the books when they first came out. I initially thought I would be all about the H/D until someone said, "do you know people actually like to pair Snape and Harry? Eew!" I shrugged, thought, "hm, worth a look," and picked The Tea Series as my first foray into Snarry. After that I never looked back. I have never read IYAP or AYLNO and I never plan to. I have enough trauma in my real life. ;)
