I Can't Get Next to You---Severus

So Seattle is in some sort of Snowpocolypse but I still got to see Harry Potter 7-1. I liked it but this brings me to a song I love. Have you heard the song "I Can't Get Next to You" by the Temptations? I like the Annie Lennox version but the point is, the story is actually beautiful in a kind of melancholy way. It is about a man (or in the case of Lennox, a woman) who has all the power in the world (magic and otherwise) but still can't be with the one he/she loves.....or lusts for. I think that concept is very prevalent in the last Harry Potters. You know, you can't create love, you can't bring back the dead and even if you have magic, no one is safe. Even though it is depressing, I find it kind of freeing.

Well Currently I am listening to NIN Pretty Hate Machine and Trent Reznor totally makes me think of Snape. I love Snape. I guess the song makes me think of Severus.
