Snapedom

Hiya funsters! Firstly, my thanks for the win on last month's SNARC contest: Snape's Winter Adventures.
This means I'm the lucky one to set this month's challenge, which I have decided will be:


Everyone has a guilty pleasure - something that they indulge in that others might deem frivolous or just downright crazy. Draw a picture of what you think our normally dour and abstemious Potions Master might partake in as a guilty pleasure. It might be a particular food, a Muggle luxury, or a trashy romance novel. Remember to keep it clean, so no porn! Make it fun, make it kooky, make it unexpected. You've got until the last day of the month to submit your ideas. Ideally, ArtPad's the way to go, but I understand that the rule on that has been relaxed to include any digital drawing software. severed_lies may have to correct me on this!
And the prize for the winner: a 'World's #1 Potions Master' mug donated by me and shipped to your location.

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.
