Sorry. I didn't see posts 8 & 9, from Elmoro and you. I don't know why. I was just responding to Gingobibble.

I have no idea what this means. Quote:

In addition, I felt this pairing, even one-sided, was alluded to throughout the series- here is proof. Decently accurate prediction from 2005, and that certainly wasn't the earliest the idea was out there.

I can see that now, but it doesn't make it any less gross. Quote:

...If JKR had tried to pin a 20 year love on any other character, it would have "creepy" and "patchetic" but really, that love, however obsesssive, is part of Severus' character.

It still didn't work. Quote:

Heathcliff, from Wutherinng Heights... Severus is the HP version of Heathcliff as far as love goes...

I never got around to that one. I have a feeling I wouldn't like it.
This whole topic is giving me flashbacks.
In my misspent youth, I often tried to be nice to people who weren't very popular. I wasn't flirting -- just being polite and letting pathetic loosers talk. Drug addicts, derelicts... And I was always surprised when they imagined a relationship that never existed. Oops, I did it again.
It wasn't flattering. You have one, single conversation with an incredibly lonley person and a month later he comes back with a full-blown fantasy and a serious marriage proposal...
(shudders) ...excuse me, I think I need to go and drown myself in the shower for a few days...
(I may be old and decrepit now, but I used to be hot.)
