ALL SHALL LOVE ME AND DESPAIR!: I’ve taken this quiz twice now. The first time I came out as Lord Voldemort. This time, apparently (as Lydia Verlauryn would say), I’m Severus Snape. Kickin’.

Well you’re a tricky one aren’t you? Nobody quite has you figured out and you’d probably prefer it stayed that way. That said you are a formidable force by anyone’s reckoning, but there is certainly more to you than a frosty exterior and a bitter temper.

Lord Voldemort 85%
Severus Snape 85%
Hermione Granger 75%
Draco Malfoy 75%
Remus Lupin 70%
Ginny Weasley 70%
Albus Dumbledore 70%
Harry Potter 65%
Ron Weasley 65%
Sirius Black 60%

Comments (spoiler-free): I think this is somewhat distressingly accurate, actually. Only if I were really going to kick my own ass, I would have listed Remus Lupin above Hermione; this post convinced me that I share all Lupin’s worst traits. And I hope never to remind anyone of Ginny Weasley, in any way, shape, or form. Other than that, I think this quiz does better than most at representing a) my own personality and b) Rowling’s talent for creating horrible characters with whom one nonetheless empathizes. In my case it’s Snape, Draco, and (if I’m in a giving vein) Lupin, but for many others it’s Sirius, Harry, and Dumbledore, and people who like those characters have real points–however much I might want to beat the characters about the head with bricks.

Oh, and I’m way more like Sirius Black than I am like Ron Weasley. Ron is much, much better than I am.
