I never said it was fair for Snape to treat Harry and Neville as he 
does.  All I said was that there is more to it then what we know.

There is also no excuse for the way Harry has treated some of his 
teachers.  He can be rather rude at times and he does seem to get 
away with breaking the rules quite a bit.  It's just that everyone 
tends to gloss over what Harry does.
