Not to unleash evil but who remembers snapewives and snapeism. I wonder how many snapeists still consider themselves sister-wives to snape’s spirit.

some choice excerpts:
I solemnly promise all of this to you, Severus Snape, my only love. May
these words create a strong loving bond, which can only be broken by
death. If I break the promises made, or treat you not in the manner I
should be, I’ll make sure I’ll die. May all the good forces and spirits
bless our love eternally…. So it will be done…
One of the reasons some were listed as being unable to contact Snape
was because their hearts weren’t pure enough for him. All of the
Snapewives who were not regularly visited in their dreams had some sort
of character flaw that made him not want to come. Perhaps they simply
weren’t attractive enough, and they should start wearing sexier pajamas
and lose a few pounds. Or perhaps they had “ugly” hobbies, like swearing
too much or biting their nails. Or maybe it was just their
personality–they were a gossip, they were too nosy, or they were too
crass. Or maybe it’s just that they were too independent for a woman.
According
to Snapeist theology, the way Snape is portrayed in Harry Potter is all
wrong. Snape the character is just a shadow of Snape the deity, who is
omniscient, eternal, and impossible to kill.
“–I BELIEVE THAT SEVERUS SNAPE EXISTS INDEPENDENTLY OF JKR,” claimed
one Snapeist. “HE IS A LIVING, FEELING SPIRIT. I BELIEVE ANYTHING IS
POSSIBLE AND THAT SEVERUS DOES VISIT THOSE HE CHOOSES TO!”
