:>I agree, but just for the fun of it, here's a try at an explanation:
:>
:>Take a male college professor with a family, and a very involving

:>as much as possible with the role.  So he's on stage, totally involved 
:>in the starring role in Death of A Salesman, saying the words and
:>feeling the emotions of a lonely drunk who is dying and knows it.
:>Although in the back of his mind, he knows he is a successful, healthy
:>family man, _right at that moment_ he "is" that lonely, dying salesman.
:>Now put a spell on him to make him believe that for more than two

:>parents they were two other people in a way that masked the underlying
:>knowledge.  Call it an induced multiple personality.

:>This may also relate to how Snape kept his cover; he kept a layer

:>successfully reading the depths of Snape's mind, and his real
:>thoughts were buried deeper.  Maybe.

: or a little man appeared whenever V tried to enter his mind, saying,
: "Nobody gets in to see Snape's thoughts.  Nobody ever."

I think Ickle Tommykins would have gone berserk trying to AK that
little man!!
