Yes, I am. I took this nickname because Dwalin was the first dwarf character that appeared in the saga ( if we consider "the Hobbit" part of it).

Attic Treasures / Harry Potter

But there are also many persons that take Snape's side in all situations in the books! They really like him, not just think he is a very well done character.
But in my opinon, even if Snape was really working for Dumbledore and not for Voldemort, that doesn’t justify his sadistic actions in the other books. I understand that he suffered a lot because of what James Potter and his friends did to him, when they studied at Hogwarts, but this is no good reason to torment Harry and the others. If he honestly told Harry about what really happened then, maybe Harry would have taken his side.
And what about the episode when he tried to poison Neville's toad? If someone tried to do such a thing to my cat, I would make that person drink the same poison! And all that patronizing of Slytherins and oppression of Gryffindors: even if Dumbledore trusted Snape as his secret agent in Voldemort’s organization, he should have done something about that. In the first book someone said that Slytherin had won the House Cup for 6 times in a row. Dumbledore should have understood already after the third time that something was wrong.

By the way, what do you think about Snape? The number of his fans seem to be grown up too much in the last years. Even Harry Potter himself seems to have fallen into his shade. They all think Snape is the best character in the series. They seriously believe he is a good guy and think that everything wrong he does can be justified. They also say that what he did at the end of the 6-th book, was at Dumbledore’s request. I personally don’t believe it, but even if it were true, that doesn't make him a good character. He is just sadist, in any case. Whatever his motives were in that situation, he deserves 100 times to be kicked out from Hogwarts for his actions in the other books. And what puzzles me most of all, is the fact that some of them have started to like Snape even BEFORE the ending of the first book, where it is revealed that he saved Harry's life. But before this ending, not only he didn’t show any positive qualities, he didn’t even seem to have anything interesting or original. He seemed just a flat, annoying “bad guy”, no different from Harry's uncle and aunt. If these people were fans of evil characters, I could understand them (though not agree with them). But no, they seriously think that Snape is good!

Land Before Time TV Series (2007) / Downloading episodes
« on: May 16, 2007, 04:26:29 PM »
Could you tell me please, where I can download the “Days of rising waters” episode (I have found links to nearly all episodes except this). I know that usually downloading is illegal, but these cartoons have not been released on DVD yet, so it doesn’t violate any copyrights, and it is the only way for me to see them ( I live in Italy and they are not shown here). Could you also tell me if the episodes “The hermit of the black rock” and "The amazing threehorn girl" have already been shown on TV or not (I have not found any links to these episodes either) ?
