   • 2014 March 3, Zoe Alderton, “‘Snapewives’ and ‘Snapeism’: A Fiction-Based Religion within the Harry Potter Fandom”, in Religions‎^[1], volume 5, number 1, MDPI, →DOI, pages 219-257:

     Despite personal schisms and differences in spiritual experience, there is a very coherent theology of Snape shared between the wives. To examine this manifestation of religious fandom, I will first discuss the canon scepticism and anti-Rowling sentiment that helps to contextualise the wider belief in Snape as a character who extends beyond book and film.

   This particular manifestation resembled a young girl crying.

3. (medicine) The symptoms or observable conditions which are seen as a result of some disease.
4. A pattern or logo on a sheet of glass, as decoration and/or to prevent people from accidentally walking in to it.
