On Snape -- On Quidditch -- On Flying and Brooms
Yes, yes I know -- Snape refereed the Quidditch match in book one.
Should I be convinced on this alone that he knows how to fly a broom? Um, no.
I can just see his pale, skinny arse clinging to his broom for dear life while Harry zooms past to make a grab for the snitch.
He probably vehemently protested when Madam Hooch asked that he take her place. Of course, you know, Dumbly stepped in and twinkled at him. How could he say no? Easy -- with Albus, there is no saying no.
Snape just strikes me as very clumsy on a broom. Not the picture of grace, if you know what I mean. Dare I say, I can see him being a bit of an acrophobiac. In the air, Snape is completely out of his element.
That said...
I can't see him being much of a Quidditch player. I can see him in the stands reading a text, now and again looking up to wave a Slytherin banner. Oh yes, go Slytherin. So unenthusiastic. Like whoopdeefuckingdo! The pervy Snape/Lucius slasher in me would like to believe he's drooling over Lucius, but eh, I can't see Lucius playing Quidditch either. The wind would muss his hair.
So what's your take on Snape and flying a broom? And by fly, I mean well enough. Clinging like house ivy doesn't count.
Can he or can't he?
If so -- what's your take on Snape and Quidditch? Might he have played?
Let's hear what you have to say!

I think he can fly, but not well, because he gets motion sick. (Just like I do when I try to play those damned HP computer games.) And he wouldn't have played Quidditch, although he can follow it well enough.
And the motion sickness neatly explains the icky spitting in PS/SS. That's hypersalivation that goes with nausea, that is.

I can totally see him getting motion sickness. I wonder if he keeps a little baggy handy?
