So, everywhere I've read or been directed to, we've gotten the gist that JKR took Alan Rickman aside and told him something about the role of Severus Snape.
No where have a found the words he said(no where verified that is). And Alan himself is rumored to have said that she didn't tell him anything that was part of the story outline.
I would like to hear different theories from everyone on what JKR could have told Alan Rickman about the role of Severus Snape.

My own theory is "Severus Snape is a deeply honorable character."

But then you think that JRK based Severus Snape on a teacher she rather disliked and you wonder.....

So, what is everyone else's theories?

I was hoping for discussions....40 lookers and no one commented....
:(

Ah well, someone one day will think about it.

But, I haven't found a verifiable statement anywhere from Alan Rickman or JKR of what they spoke about.
Only one or two hints.

So, anyone else have a theory about what was discussed?

Do you think she told him that ---

"No matter what you read or is written about him, Severus Snape is always a true agent of good.".....?

When I first started acting on my Snape obsession, I remember first looking at Wikipedia for background info about AR, as I really had no idea who he was.

I recall reading that he had picked up the idea that Sev loved Lily long before JKR wrote DH, and how he was not supposed to let on that he knew.

I haven't looked at that article since, so I can't provide any cites at this moment. Just wanted to get my two cents in.

Just came back from Harry Potter Characters on Wikipedia. It is where I got that info, under the section for Snape. Scrolling down, there is a little blurb about the film portrayal and how AR knew about the love for Lily. Cites are provided for thoses references, and I have yet to look/listen to the original sources.

Maybe this link will help you. But deep inside of my heart I think we never will know the correct words between Alan and Joe. He is a secret keeper ;)
