> I think you're right since they did cut so much of this. I was
trying to think of any other "Snape things" that were in the movie
that a director might have wanted to cut and I can't actually remember
any other "Snape things!" Were Occlumency and SWM his only scenes?

break! A part in a Harry Potter movie! And then it ends up as a DVD extra.

Carol responds:
If the list of deleted scenes at Leaky is any indication, it's not
even that. However, we could see some archive footage in DG.
In the book, Snape also has some teaching scenes (Potions class),
notably his inspection by Umbridge (which is touched on in the film).
We see him Evanescoing some of Harry's unsatisfactory potions, for
example. And there was the confrontation with Sirius Black at 12 GP,
which was cut completely. The Occlumency scenes were much more
developed, including the three childhood memories that flash by when
Harry casts a Protego. We also see his reaction to Trelawney's screams
and to Draco's report that Montague is stuck in a toilet (which leads
me to wonder how they'll deal with the Vanishing Cabinets in the HBP
film). Snape has quite a few choice scenes in OoP, all of them either
condensed or cut altogether in the film.
Carol, who would have appreciated another ten minutes or so of
Rickman!Snape in the film as there was plenty of material to draw from
