Surfing onto words related websites, I happen onto a pretty paragraph related to words in "sn-" quoted as such :

"And few groups of words are as useful for verbal snipers, those who sneer, snap and snarl, who resort to the snide, sniffy, snarky, snooty and snotty, as those which begin with an s and an n. That is not to say that all belong exclusively to the world of vituperation. Snug and snuggle are cosy agreeable concepts."

which I offer for enjoyment of all Snape-lovers (and others)

I'm disapointed that snobbiness isn't included, thought.

Heh. That's perfect. Clearly Rowling was working with that thought when she named Snape.

They forgot snort. And also snog.

Snape needs all the snuggling and snogging we can foist on him. ~g~
