For crap anger, read feisty. Feisty Sues make me bad tempered.*
When I hear this:
"I've made her so that she will give Snape what for/as good as she gets/she'll be a match for him"...
I know a few things:
1. If she triumphs over his grumpiness in an early chapter, then it's not Snape. It's a pod person.
2. She cannot possibly give him as good as she gets. Because invariably she's either a wimp, or a hag. And whichever it is, he'd kill her. And why is Snape always so ready to allow some hellish female to dog his every movement, anyway?
3. Wangsty past: dead parents/husband/lover/kids/sister/bruv in an attempt to get under his crusty exterior.
4. They are rarely a match for Snape. That's because the majority of them patently would not exist in conditions of any reality. And most of the Feisty Sues I've met, would actually have trouble carting a heavy matchbox across a small room unaided.
*yes, I know. I mean more bad tempered than usual.
