About this episode
Plenty of Harry Potter fans love Severus Snape. A few truly worshipped him. In the early 2000s, these fans found each other online and came to believe Harry’s least favorite professor was real. A god in an alternate universe that bled into our own. Nothing in the world could shake their devotion to Snape. Until their sisterhood imploded. * Listen to Dana Schwartz on Very Special Episodes every Wednesday wherever you get your podcasts.
