This is exactly the situation I'd compare with what happened with Sirius and Severus: there was definitely potential at the end of GoF for their mutual hatred to subside.
Ooh! Good point! This just goes to show how preferred pairings can influence a person. I'd just sort of shoved that line to the back of my mind. ...Not that I'm saying I could imagine them jumping into bed now, but I do have a much clearer idea of the fact that... some progress might have been made... I guess part of it is that I just like them hating each other a lot. It's a nice outlet... "blah blah blah life sucks, but hey, at least i can still fantasize about (hexing snape/poisoning black)." and i guess in happy fluff land there would be no real intention to ever carry it through... whereas, in canon, they do want to murder each other. which is powerful. (typing before i've made up my mind again - ok, think break.)
... doo de doo ...
hmmmmmm..... i guess that's what my block is. snape's capacity for hatred is so great. i don't think he really hates harry, not the real non-james harry... annoyed in all directions by him, certainly, but not the boiling hatred he has for his peers who wronged him. so i can work with that, but i wouldn't know how to go about tackling this cauldron of ire that stands between him and black. i mean, i can see black using snape, raping him, no problem. and i can see snape snapping and raping black in a fit of dementia (because for him it would be a loss of control; black would just torture him for the hell of it). and then repurcussions of that, maybe, but as for just stepping down.... what could make them do that... wahhhh. brain boggling.
it's like everthing about them clashes - their personalities hate each other, even if snape wasn't the personification of sirius's family, even if sirius wasn't the personification of arrogance and charisma.
and this really makes me want to work james into this discussion... because i hate to leave james out. i love james and sirius; they're so... complementary. the perfect best friends. they hate snape in slightly different ways, but they each hate him so, so much, and snape hates them individually in return.
and then remus and peter and.... ok; if i start going into everyone snape hates, it will never end.
