.23. Favorite casting decision; Alan Rickman as Severus Snape- he is one of the most difficult and intricate characters in the whole series of Harry Potter. He starts out as a clearly drawn villainous type with an unexplained hatred for Harry and a suspicious air of darkness around him. As much as he loathes Harry he protects him too, pushing the kids behind him when fighting a werewolf, and being one of Dumbledore's most trusted soldiers.
