Cathubodva:
(Hi Derannimer!)  This is surely JKR's way of making sure that some 
Snapefans stay tuned for the rest of the books.  I for one would 
rather have read "Severus Snape and the Order of the Phoenix", but 
now I guess I'll have to wait.  ;-)  And at least this way, I can 
still deny LOLLIPOPS.

>Oh, yeah, and Harry's decided to hate him forever.

...Harry frustrates me at times.  Sometimes he's not very bright.  
But this is the first time that I have been *really* disappointed in 
him.  Harry has now seen that James was to Snape what (more or less) 
Draco is to Harry, and not the other way around.

Even if Harry didn't want to walk up to Snape and say: "I feel your 
pain, why don't we let this be a bonding experience", he should at 
least have apologised for intruding in Snape's very personal and 
private memories. In the past, Harry has been *terrified* of being 
forced to reveal his private thoughts, (feelings for Cho, location of 
Sirius etc) and when he commits that very act of violation, does not 
even apologise.

Perhaps Harry is like his father in more ways that we have hitherto 
been led to believe.

wedge)
