Erm... YES, of course. Read this scene several times,think that Snape 
had no right to do that but I think it is a fair argument to make 
that Snape was never physical with the boys before OOP, you know.

If you read the main list, you know that I am really, really NOT 
defending Snape behaviour, almost never. :-), but don't you agree 
that circumstances of that scene were exceptionall and Snape wa never 
physical with Harry after that scene either.
