"I do [think Snape is a hero], though a very flawed hero.
An anti-hero, perhaps.
He is not a particularly likeable man in many ways.
He remains rather cruel, a bully, riddled with bitterness and insecurity –
and yet he loved, and showed loyalty to that love and, ultimately, laid down his life because of it."

-- J.K. Rowling

Asian hyper-cool

When your favourite kpop group appears in a published book ^^
“At one level, it may appear, from the popularity of Korean TV dramas or through the appeal of idols and performers such as the musician Rain or boy bands like DBSG/TVXQ/Tohoshinki, that South Korea has replaced Japan as the ultimate in Asian hyper-cool.”
