The title of this blog may seem ridiculous and probably has nothing to do with your life, but I must start this post out with a question. What do you do when your professor looks like Severus Snape in his late thirties?
Over the course of this semester, I have come up with four options to keep my focus on the class and not on the fact that he literally looks like the potion's professor at Hogwarts.
Option One: Casually look around the class for anyone with a jagged lightning scar before the class starts. By doing this, you are making sure that the next hour and a half is in a positive environment and will not be focused on making a certain person's life hell. Also make sure that you yourself do not have a scar on your forehead because that could be the reason for the grades on your assignments.
Option Two: Les Miserables It. Keep your focus on your book. In other words: Look down, Look down, Don't look him in the eye...
Option Three: Keep yourself informed on the current lesson, just to be safe. We all know that Snape excelled in shoving Ron and Harry's heads in their books and to be honest, that looked quite painful. Take that as a warning and jump at every opportunity to answer questions, and just pray that your answer is right.
Option Four: Inform him of this piece of news. Odds are, he (or she...) doesn't realize just how much he looks like Snape. Plus, if he hears about this from you, then there is a chance he will be easy on the homework. Why? Well, he probably wants to make sure that there is a definite difference between him and Snape.
There has to be more professors out there that have a scary resemblance to fictional characters. If you have a story, share it in the comments below.
-MiMi out.
I know exactly what you mean! I had a fellow classmate who looked just like Bender from the Breakfast Club! If no one has pointed out to this teacher yet that he looks like Snape... then I honestly don't know how you've survived this long. I mean, really.
