Oh, bravo all around! I agree with you on a great deal of this, so let's see if I can pick out anything in particular.
Reality, I’ve got home aplenty. What I want is hot, adrenaline-fuelled action that leads up to some just as hot shagging.
Definitely. I mean, I delve into some more realistic fics, but sometimes I just (as isicolo's icon says) want to wake up and get my smut. Sirius/Snape is just perfect for that kind of interaction, too.
There are many Pensieve theories around, and I support the one that says Pensieve memories are subjective.
Me too. I mean, we've all seen Snape in canon and I just can't believe he would have been so passive, even if he had been taken by surprise. It doesn't make the scene any less sympathetic, I feel, because it's still obvious Snape was pretty well tortured by, if not all of MWPP, then Sirius and James, at least.
She wrote a Mysterious Disappearance.
And thank God for that. Makes his presence in post-OotP fanfic much easier to swallow.
Yeah, that’s right, Snape, go on eat some death.
*snort* Oh, the entendres.
And though unrelated to the rest of your essay: Or Dumbledore, who, in the first four books, was merely a plot device and whose transition into a real character has not quite worked out.
God, yes. And he could be such an interesting character, too, I feel. The fandom has really helped me out in both the Dumbledore and Voldemort characters, both of whom I feel aren't nearly as strong of presences in canon as Rowling wants them to be.

Thanks for this. Lots to think about here.
