Yes, that's the thing I've very much missed since she shifted into Tome Mode: the charm of the early books, the whimsy (*snicker*) of them. And what's presented as humour in the later books is just painful to read a lot of the time.
And yes, I know the Snape/Lily goes down well in some crowds. I don't have an issue with the shippiness so much as how she used it to emasculate and infantilise (*ponders if that's even a word*) what had been a great character.
