I've seen and heard a few questions about why anyone would like someone who didn't bathe regularly in relation to Sev. Here's my guess:

There are people in this world not blessed with kind bodies. Some people are badly shaped, some people gain weight in strange places, some people have crooked teeth... and some people have greasy hair. I know: creepy, huh? Well, I guess they're all creepy, but there are still people who love the badly-shaped, crooked-toothed, weirdly-weighty people. Why is it such a jump to think they could like greasy-haired people.

So I admit, I'm the kid in school with the greasy hair. But it doesn't matter what I do. I've washed it and had someone tell me scant hours afterwards that I needed to wash my hair--it's oily. It's not too bad, but after years of being nagged, yeah. Sometimes, you start to do things like put off baths. It's useless, anyway. Heck, sometimes your hair looks better after a couple of washless days. That's when you know your hair's screwy.

Heh. But it is kinda funny because I'm nearly the living incarnation of Severus Snape. Only female. And nicer. I do look like him, though, and I can understand why he holds a grudge for the smart-arse remarks made and why he does--if he does--put off baths. It never really does tell you whether or not he does, though. The only people to say so are the Marauders and unless J. K. Rowling didn't tell us something important, they don't live with him. They could hardly claim to be experts.

I think that maybe the reason why he has greasy hair is a hint to what his animagus is. Why wouldn't Severus have a animagus like the Marauder's do? I think that maybe Severus is a raven, it would explain his hair and a lot of things.

*rolls eyes* Okay, the purpose of the thread was lost on someone... I understand you can get greasy hair from not washing, but there are some people who get it naturally. Judging by how similar he is to me physically, I would guess that it wouldn't be farfetched that he would have hair as naturally oily as mine, as well. No offense, it just gets irritating to have people tell you how disgusting your hair is when you can't help it.

And you may have a point, miss Selene Snape. Maybe we'll see in the last installment, ne?

You def didn't understand or didn't read the first post dear. *roles eyes*

However, I did and I think you are correct. As for the animagus, I think you could be right too, or we could all be over analyzing the whole subject. Maybe he is just a person with greasy hair...lol

Its not just his hair that bothers me.

His whole manner is greasy and creepy like he constantly has an alterior motive or is thinking dark and evil thoughts. The way he glares all the time and treats Harry like dirt etc.

Also, he is an amazing occlumens, so he can totally read your thoughts too >_<

creepy or what?

...

bleh!

biggrin I never even imagined something like that would happen! That'd be neato!

Yeah, I agree with the greasy thing. My friend Kate had the problem, too, until she discovered that Herbal Essences "Drama Clean" shampoo and conditioner solves her oily hair problem. Obviously, Snape hasn't found a shampoo that works yet.

Ya, I think Snape needs to find a good shampoo and conditioner that will solve his greasy hair problem, but if he didn't have greasy hair, then would us fangirls still love him....probably still tie him up and take him away with us *lol*. Maybe, he should try Petene (sp) since I hear that's a good brand of shampoo that can make anyone's hair look good....though its very expensive. xp

O ya, I agree his changing form thingy could be a raven, or a bat.

I think he has greay hair cuz of all the potions he's done. Cuz think when your cooking something and you're right over it doesnt your face and hair get a little damp. Now think of that plus Snape doing all those potions with the ingredents going up in the steam and him standing over it to make sure everything goes correctly. Now he probably does shower every day but when he does potins all the time it would be kinda hard to keep your hair nice now wouldn't it.

Occlumens -block- mind reading. Legimens read minds. ^^ Hes one of those too, though.

I have naturally oily hair, but no one notices because i take care of it xD I do shower EVERY day, 2 times.....and it still gets greasy within the hour... He's just to busy/lazy/evil/sexy for his shower OR many of the other things suggested in this thread to clean his hair.

Or he could just work out alot and it gets bad like that from sweat......xDD
