This reminds me, I've been wanting to point this scene out for another
reason. It's one of the very few times we observe the teachers
interacting, unobserved (so far as they know). And there was a great
deal of humor in the way they all handled it, and I was impressed with
the way that they all picked up Snape's lead like a well-rehearsed act.
For those who think Snape is totally unpleasant to everyone all the
time, I would say: people don't interact with you that way, immediately
catch your drift and join in, or be as ready to take your initiative
unless they know you pretty well and are okay with you. Snape is "in"
with the other teachers; they seem a fraternity to me. I can't quite
phrase this exactly, sorry, but I hope you know what I mean.
