It has a kind of sense to it, I think. If you accept Rowling's own interpretation of Snape as someone who needs lovin'... and Hagrid thinks all prickly, dangerous animals need lovin'... so it's kind of the perfect match. Too bad I can't actually believe in it. I can still enjoy the stories, though. Eor thinks I'm a nut. He can't see how I can enjoy the stories if I really don't see Snape ever allowing his front to crack enough to let Hagrid in. Somehow I can just suspend disbelief and say this is a slightly different Snape than the one I know.

The collection I've been perusing is here.

I've been reading Sylvadin's stories from the beginning, even though she begged off that she'd not had the best beta reader for the first stories and made a lot of grammatical errors. I've seen worse. I don't quite buy the rather extreme amounts of abuse she portrays Snape as taking, and his breaking down as much as she has it, but I'm going to forge on, for now. I'll mine out this vein until I can't stand any more, because that's what I'm like when I take up a new perversion. ;)
