I'm nearly positive this one above is one of LilyHBP's work. I wonder how she is these days. *sniffs*

Favorite quotes from Snape - Order of the Phoenix

Snape, putting down Sirius…

How touching and paternal, Black. Perhaps Potter will grow up to be a felon, just like his godfather.

"Merely that I am sure you must feel -- ah -- frustrated by the fact that you can to nothing useful…for the Order."
"Oh, but why don't you tell him so?" whispered Snape. "Or are you afraid he might not take the advice of a man who has been hiding inside his mother's house for six months very seriously?"
"Speaking of dogs," said Snape softly, "did you know that Lucius Malfoy recognized you last time you risked a little jaunt outside? Clever idea, Black, getting yourself seen on a safe station platform... gave you a cast-iron excuse not to leave your hidey-hole in future, didn't it?"
-----
Umbridge (in her interview as Hogwart’s High Inquisitor: But you were unsuccessful?
Snape: ...Obviously.
-----
In Occlumency Lessons:
It appears there is a connection between the Dark Lord's mind and your own. Whether he is, as yet, aware of this connection is for the moment unclear. Pray he remains ignorant.
Read it, control it, unhinge it. In the past it was often the Dark Lord's pleasure to invade the minds of his victims, creating visions designed to torture them into madness. Only after extracting the last exquisite ounce of agony, only when he had them literally begging for death would he finally kill them. Used properly, the power of Occlumency will help shield you from access or influence. In these lessons I will attempt to penetrate your mind. You will attempt to resist. Prepare yourself! Legilimens!

"It is true, however, that those who have mastered Legilimency are able, under certain conditions, to delve into the minds of their victims and to interpret their findings correctly. The Dark Lord, for instance, almost always knows when somebody is lying to him. Only those skilled at Occlumency are able to shut down those feelings and memories that contradict the lie, and to utter falsehoods in his presence without detection."

"The usual rules do not seem to apply to you, Potter. The curse that failed to kill you seems to have forged some kind of connection between you and the Dark Lord. The evidence suggests that at times, when your mind is most relaxed and vulnerable -- when you are asleep, for instance -- you are sharing the Dark Lord's thoughts and emotions. The headmaster thinks it inadvisable

Snape has just made Harry remember how Cedric died: "I told you to empty yourself of emotion!"
"Yeah? Well, I'm finding that hard at the moment," Harry snarled.
"Then you will find yourself easy prey for the Dark Lord!" said Snape savagely. "Fools who wear their hearts proudly on their sleeves, who cannot control their emotions, who wallow in sad memories and allow themselves to be provoked this easily -- weak people, in other words -- they stand no chance against his powers! He will penetrate your mind with absurd ease, Potter!"

Snape: Feeling sentimental?
Harry: That's private.
Snape: Not to me. And not to the Dark Lord if you don't improve. Every memory he has access to is a weapon he can use against you. You won't last two seconds if he invades your mind. You're just like your father. Lazy, arrogant.
Harry: Don't say a word against my father.
Snape: Weak!
Harry: I'm not weak!
Snape: Then prove it! Control your emotions! Discipline your mind! Legilimens!
Harry: Stop it!
Snape: Is that what you call control?
Harry: We've been at it for hours. If I could just rest!
Snape: The Dark Lord isn't resting. You and Black, you're two of a kind, sentimental children forever whining about how bitterly unfair your lives have been. Well, it may have escaped your notice, but life isn't fair. Your blessed father knew that, in fact he frequently saw to it!
Harry: My father was a great man!
Snape: Your father was a swine. Legilimens!

So ... been enjoying yourself, Potter?
Amusing man, your father, wasn't he?
You will not repeat what you saw to anybody
Get out, get out, I don't want to see you in this office ever again!
Your lessons are at an end…Get. Out.
-----
Umbridge: Padfoot? What is Padfoot? Where what is hidden? What is he talking about Snape?
Snape: No idea.
-----
What are you doing, Potter?
Put that wand away at once…ten point from Gryff---Ah. I see there are no longer any points left in the Gryffindor hourglass to take away. In that case, Potter, we will simply have to---

I had forgotten we had this thread, this is so awesome! Also love the title, had to think for a moment before I could remember what it referred to.

While googling something else, I accidentally found, and became addicted to the website tvtropes.org. Thought I would share this, one of several nice things they have to say about Alan Rickman.

In the films, the character development is there, but very subtly done. Rowling has confirmed that shortly after Rickman had been cast as Snape, both of them discussed the character at length, and she revealed Snape's motivations and ultimate loyalties to him. Rickman used this knowledge throughout the series to decide how to play scenes, deliver lines, and most importantly, how to use body language to convey specific emotions. If, after learning the reveal in the final movie, you go back and watch the entire series and pay attention to Rickman's use of body language, you very quickly realize that his words may be saying one thing, but his body language is saying something completely different. The producers struck gold when they cast Rickman for this role.
