But it insulted Snape as a professor at Hogwarts, not a student. I'll grant
that the map insulted him by name and title because he identified
himself--it was just that the insults seemed so appropriate to Snape
himself, like the map knew the correct physical insults for this person,
regardless of whether it knew his name.

Did that make any sense?
