"Greasy black hair, a hooked nose and sallow skin." That is how J.K Rowling describes Severus Snape. Plus, he is seen as a villain throughout the whole series.

Sallow means pale. And by all s, the actor picked to play Severus Snape has no pale skin not a hooked nose. As for being the villain... well, once more, a black man is being typecast as the villain!!

J.K. Rowling said herself that she modeled the character Severus Snape after Alan Rickman.

I, myself, will give the series a chance, but I can't see the generation that grew up with the Harry Potter of yesteryear being fully satisfied with this new version that is coming out.
