I'd be willing to bet most of the Mr. Darcy comparisons come because fanfic writers think barbed snark = cool. Never mind that Snape has acted his mental age a few times and cracked some mean jokes, or been unutterably petty.
Also, Lolita Snapemione? Given how creepy the guy was in Lolita, I can see why the essay-writers who use literary comparisons want to be selective about what they wanna use.
Le sigh. |
