I swear she wrote that scene while watching a Road Runner cartoon. You know how Wile E. Coyote always crashes through trucks and mountains, leaving coyote-shaped holes.
(JKR, repeat after me: NO ONE SAYS "IT IS I". No one talks like that. Not Snape, not Remus, not anyone. Also, as he's just appeared and everyone knows him, he doesn't need to announce who he is. We all know already. FAIL)
Oh, God, you're so right!
Snape turned to them and said, 'Yes. Snape: it is I! I, am Snape! Snape I am!'
"Would you like green eggs and ham?"
"NO! "I would not like them in a boat "Sailed by a proud and pompous goat "Who goes by name of Dumbledore-- "I'd find it all a crashing bore. "I would not like them in a lake "Or with Dark Lord and his pet snake, "And Animagi leave me cold-- "I loathe those stupid, and yet bold. "Both Phoenix-folk and dense Death Eaters "Impress me not a milliliter. "And I would hate them with prediction "That turned out to be mostly fiction. "I flee, I fly, I shoo, I scram, "I hate this tale!" said Snape-I-Am.
