I guess when I finally see it it's a good thing that I haven't seen Snape yet in action. LOL

I found a cd I made with the song "Marvin, I love you" which is by the guy who played Marvin in the Hitchhikers radio show.

*chuckles* I remember that song!! When I first read the book, I came across it and absolutely loved it :) Marvin's always been a favourite of mine, simply because he's so damned depressed all the time (and rightly so, I might add) and it annoys everyone around him. There's just something about an apathetic robot that makes me smile.

The image of the depressed Snape makes me laugh, but it's enjoyable none the less. *hugs* GO see it! You'll get a good laugh out of it.
