Well, that didn't fit in these two cases. 37540 and 37541.
Here's a bit from 37540 written by Porphyria:
"But he doesn't care about any of that a bit, he's just trying to
make a point about how little they know about werewolves so he can
justify assigning the essay. And he expects to be obeyed. So when
Hermione again takes him literally as if he really misunderstood
where they were in the book and as if he really wanted a
demonstration of her own knowledge, this he interprets as an
interruption and an undermining of his authority.
Every time he snaps at her for being a know-it-all it's always in a
charged situation in which he experiences it as a rejection of his
authority. She doesn't respond to him in the way he expects to be
treated."
The other post had to do with whether or not a particular character
respected authority and why or why not.
Between the two posts I used: trust/mistrust, teaching methods, and
character development.
