I love me some Harry Potter. I really really do. But does it strike anyone else as completely bizarre that, in the newly released Half Blood Prince sock yarn series from Opal, there’s no SNAPE?!
I get that Snape isn’t everyone’s favorite character. I understand Ms. Rowling disliking him. I recognize that he’s nearly universally loathed by those who stick to the strict canon. I, personally, adore the man and all his horrible, possibly evil, scathing, awful, wretched, biting sarcastic ways. On those really really cranky days, I wanted to have a pair of Snape socks to wear, as an inspiration and a comfort that I probably am not as mean in real life as that man is in the books.
Foo on you Opal. >:/
Maybe you should start an internet uproar that will cause them to add a Snape color?

I love Snape too…and Alan the actor. Of course, maybe I love Alan and therefore any role he plays.
Oh hell.
What colors would “Snape” be, you think?

I’m personally wondering why we have a Harry, a Ron and a Ron & Harry colorway but no Hermoine? 3 colorways for the 2 boys but not even 1 for the girl? Sigh…
I have to admit to not loving any of the colorways though with the exception of maybe Hedwig.
