This just in from Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling: Snape doesn’t smell very good.
Jo hopped on her computer Friday morning and appeared to be in a question-answering mood. She responded to several fans who had some really random questions for her.
For example, someone asked her if Ron “is a time-traveling Dumbledore,” referencing a fan theory that’s been around the internet for a while. Rowling replied matter-of-factly: “False theory.”
False theory. https://t.co/c89Erq9hnD

As for a theory about Draco being a werewolf, Rowling said that’s total nonsense:
I've never seen that one before. Draco definitely isn't a werewolf (and Snape's not a vampire). https://t.co/TSliADJvyi

Rowling was also asked by a (very unique) fan what Snape smells like. Her response was perfect:
Bitterness and old shoes. https://t.co/sbTLoPLDpj

Hmm, old shoes and bitterness? I’m imagining a leather-y smell with a dash of a sharp cologne.
Jo’s tweet about Snape’s smell appears to be a big hit with fans — it received quite a few favorites and retweets on Twitter.
Can she tell us what Voldemort smells like next?
