Dumbledore, Snape observations

My 2 knuts on various recent threads.

I think that the reason why Dumbledore wasnt the Potters secretkeeper 
is that the good guys knew that Voldy was likely to go after the 
secretkeeper and torture him.  Sirius Black was willing to die to 
save his friends; he thought (mistakenly, of course) that Peter 
Pettigrew was too.  Dumbledore was too valuable a person, as head of 
the anti-Voldy army, to risk.

I think that the reason Snape hates Harry so much, aside from the 
fact that he hated James Potter, is because of Trewlaneys first 
prediction.  I have always thought that Trewlawneys first prediction 
was that Harry Potter would bring about Voldys downfall.  Snape 
really wanted to redeem himself by being the one to do this; he 
wanted the glory, the Order or Merlin First Class, the recognition 
that goes with being a hero.  Instead, he has to help the son of his 
least favorite person, who is famous while still a baby, stay alive 
long enough to destroy Voldy and become a far greater hero than Snape 
could ever hope to be.  (In addition I like the *he hated James 
because he was in love with and rejected by Lily* theory; it fits in 
well with my theory.)
