Why is a sexy Severus so scary (to some eyes) ?

I tried to write a free-style essay and not a rant, but maybe I didn't quite succeed... Sorry for my tone, and also for my bias against the story making this text less intelligible than it could have been, for people who feel the story is fine.

This is partly my response to the Snapedom February challenge: The Slytherin Sex God. The other part of it is sort of a continuation of the morality discussions I've been reading/joining on-and-off since last year (Cf. some thoughts on physical aggression, detached cruelty, bloodism-as-racism, and playing the race card or axis-of-evil card) and it's my attempt to, once again, tackle the question of why Snape (amongst some other characters) should be a Bad Apple no matter what he does, while James, Harry, Dumbledore etc. are Good Saviors of the World despite the things they do.

Last weekend, a Japanese Snape fan organized a birthday party for the universally beloved professor. ( Link to her Japanese blog with some pictures under the cut. )

...Hope this isn't off-topic! Just wanted to share the feeling that there are fans celebrating Severus Snape having been born in all corners of the world ^_^

Fake Moody in GoF: How much did they know?

Sorry that this topic has no relevance to any of the recent discussions or the monthly challenge.

A Japanese Snape-meta blogger that I adore has recently brought up the issue of Snape reacting somewhat strangely to the fake Moody in GoF, and why that might be, seeing as we now know that he was actually a very important member of the Order, actively helping Dumbledore, even at that time. He should have nothing to fear from the real Moody, an ally, right? Or did he somehow sense that he was a Death Eater in disguise? And even if he did, why would he fear that Death Eater so much that he would abandon his attempt to find Harry on the stairs and ascertain his safety, allowing "Moody" to send him straight to bed? What was it he had to prioritize?

( Some ideas and extended quotes under the cut. )
