Phoenix-12

Another year has gone by and, like the rest of us, Severus is a year older now. It always astounds me how different peoples' visions of Snape can be, but all of us fans probably agree on one point: Severus Snape is awesome. Also, I'm not in the mood for gloom and doom right now. So, in honour of his 54th birthday, I present a collection of some the most awesome Snapes I found over the last year.
