OMG Wow! John Nettleship--one of the people who inspired Severus!

This is Jo's former chemistry school teacher, apparently one of the people she based our fave Potions Professor on.

Look, just LOOK at his younger self-

John Nettleship!

Just.. wow.

Yeah, I read that she did badly in chemistry so she based him off of this guy...I read though that this man is dead now though ):

It's funny...she didn't like him but at the same time made her biggest hero based on him!

Yeah, and it's really sad about him dying, but at least he knew and accepted that he was the basis of Severus(though, wasn't it that she based Snape on at least 3 people? Or am I imagining that? ).

It's too bad she didn't like him, from an article I read, it sounded as if he was well liked by others... But in this wikipedia article he described himself as "short-tempered".. so, I dunno. Maybe she just thought he was awful because she did badly in class? Who knows..

EDIT-

And here's another articlefrom 2007, the South Wales Argus interview with John.
