What does 'supra-textual' mean?
'The ‘Snapewives’ or ‘Snapists’ are women who channel Snape, are engaged in romantic relationships with him, and see him as a vital guide for their daily lives. In this context, Snape is viewed as more than a mere fictional creation. He is seen as a being that extends beyond the Harry Potter texts with Rowling perceived as a flawed interpreter of his supra-textual essence.'
Are there any synonyms of that word? Or a definition?

You can make any nonce word you want from affixes and roots, like this one. It is an imaginary concept, so the definition is up to you, but I see "supra-" ("above", "transcending") and "textual" ("having to do with text"), so Snape exists above and beyond the words in the book. If you buy that, I have a bridge for sale cheap.
