It was me wrote that.  Not sure how your name got there though, maybe I was
responding to something you'd done.

I was pointing out some of Snape's good points - even he has some.  I didn't
mean to let him off the hook for the way he treats his students - he is an
evil git sometimes.
Just that the horrible side is much more obvious so does not require
pointing out to the same extent.
