Lucius' post reminded me that I should post this Guide To Interacting With Cosplayers again. If you are going to Azkatraz you will run into cosplayers eventually, Some folks have mentioned they feel under a confundus charm when confronted with live witches and wizards, or Dark Lords, or Potion Masters..
Here is a link to the old post. The comments are really wonderful as well.

Oh, and if Droxy is dressed as Snape, she's not dissing you- that's Snape who is being rude. XD
See you at Azkatraz
