Etymology

[edit]

From Middle English filme, from Old English filmen (film, membrane, thin skin, foreskin), from Proto-West Germanic *filmīn-, from Proto-Germanic *filmīn- (thin skin, membrane) (compare Proto-Germanic *felma- (skin, hide)), from Proto-Indo-European *pél-mo- (membrane), from *pel- (to cover, skin). Cognate with Old Frisian filmene (thin skin, human skin), Middle Dutch velm, vilm (fleece, film, membrane), Old High German felm (peel, skin, wrap), Old English *felma (in ǣġerfelma (egg membrane)). Related also to Dutch vel (sheet, skin), German Fell (skin, hide, fur), Swedish fjäll (fur blanket, cloth, scale), Norwegian fille (rag, cloth), Lithuanian plėvē (membrane, scab), Russian плева́ (plevá, membrane), Ancient Greek πέλμα (pélma, sole of the foot). More at fell. Sense of a thin coat of something is 1577, extended by 1845 to the coating of chemical gel on photographic plates. By 1895 this also meant the coating plus the paper or celluloid.

      Despite personal schisms and differences in spiritual experience, there is a very coherent theology of Snape shared between the wives. To examine this manifestation of religious fandom, I will first discuss the canon scepticism and anti-Rowling sentiment that helps to contextualise the wider belief in Snape as a character who extends beyond book and film.
