Some Questions, if I may

Hello everyone,
I have only been on this list about a week and have never posted.  I have 
enjoyed the threads, especially the Marauder's Map. I was going to bring up a 
few questions that have been bothering me for awhile. I don't mean to 
interrupt the current topic, so if it upsets anyone, or if these have been 
discussed before, I'm sorry. 

How had Slytherin won the house cup 6 years in a row? If they haven't won the 
Quidditch cup alll of those years also, where are they getting the points? 
Cheating? They don't seem to be the most intelligent, was Snape giving them 
extra points or something? Something's fishy!!

In PoA, Hermine was allowed to use a timeturner to take extra classes. It 
says the use of one is closely watched by the ministry. I suppose you can't 
use it to change history or prevent deaths, I imagine that is why they are 
under such supervision by the ministry, if anyone could do it,no one would 
ever die or make a mistake etc. But couldn't a powerful wizard like Voldemort 
get one from somewhere? Wouldn't he keep going back to one of the three times 
he has had Harry(since he has been grown) and kill him straight away instead 
of wasting time and telling Harry how he accomplished coming back? 

And the big one is why does Snape hate Harry so much? I know why he hates 
Harry's dad and James' friends, and he thinks that Harry thinks he's special 
and above rules. But if Snape is so trusted by Dumbledore I would think he 
was a respnsible adult. Instead he acts like a jealous 10 year old holding a 
grudge against an innocent person. He has never given Harry a chance.I would 
think he would respect him a little for all the good things he's done. 
Vanquishing Voldemort several times! And why does he like Draco so much?  I 
just don't see how he is innately good when he treats the good students bad 
(not just Harry) and the ones who will probably end up  being death eaters, 
he treats nice! 
Again, sorry if I interrupted !!         Stephanie
