So you want to understand your Snapefan?
We commend you on your decision to support and encourage the Snapefan in your family. This can be a difficult time; sometimes it may seem that she or he is speaking a different language. As the first step to good relations is good communication, we hope this brief glossary and usage guide will aid you on the way to mutual understanding.
black adj. Lacking hue or brightness; absence of light. Widely regarded as the most beautiful and striking of colours. Usage: Let's see... the black robes, the black robes, or the black robes today?
dunderhead n. Dunce; idiot; blockhead. Usage: Can you not even read simple directions, you dunderhead?
greasy adj. The meaning of this word is subject to much debate and its use has many subtleties primarily denoted by tone. We recommend avoiding it unless you have received specialized instruction.
potion n. A magical concoction produced by subtle science and exact art. Usage: "Have I got a potion for that"? Well! It seems there is such a thing as a stupid question after all.
smirk n. A vital component of any come-hither expression. Usage: He lay on the bed wearing nothing but his wand and a smirk.
snarky adj. Sarcastic; snide; testy; irritable; short-tempered. Usage: Did you get a load of that insult? That was so snarky! I think I may be in love.
ugly adj. Just don't even go there.
