This is where I disagree.  IMHO, Snape's inability to listen to 
reason caused himself to have to be "eliminated" by way of being 
knocked out.  True, he did not directly cause Wormtail to escape, but 
I hold him responsible for his escape.  Having another experienced 
wizard on hand on that walk back to the castle would have IMHO saved 
the day.  Then there is the fact that Snape knew Lupin hadn't taken 
hs potion that night.  Having Snape alert and part of the "team" 
would have been a great help.  However, because he refused to listen 
to Black's side of the story, he was actually working against them.  
There was only two sides that night... the good and the bad.  Snape 
made the wrong choice.

As for my request to please stop yelling at us newbies to check the 
archives...?

Sounds to me like I better start reading unless I want to get my head 
bit off... number 826 here I come...
