Where you there then as well? 
Not condoning 'snapping at a little kid' but to be fair, I reckon there's a lot more to his being snotty about signing HP memorabilia, than we public are privy to. The amount of time that Alan spenRAB giving his autograph is phenomenal! The HP problems began with the media haunting him out IIRC.
Alan will be aware that loaRAB of his autographs go on sale at eBay, yet the only ones he takes umbrage to is HP ones. Why do you suppose that is? There's a lot more going on than we know about, I reckon. The amount of times he's asked: a) for his name autograph and b) HP or Snape ones... the apparent 'nasty' side of him is reported - all to do with Snape and HP. Never a peep from anyone complaining that he was nasty other than on occasions such as you have posted.
