I have heard others talk about how Snape is constantly running to 
Dumbledore.  Where does he do that?  Snape does speak his mind to 
Dumbledore whenever he feels he must. That is one thing I like about 
him.  He stands up for what he believes to be true.  When you look at 
PoA from Snape's point of view, he was right to have doubts about 
Lupin.  Of course, he also hates Remus and didn't want him there 
under any circumstance! Snape did manage to get rid of Lupin by the 
end of the book.  I also don't know if Snape is always trying to 
prove himself to Dumbledore.  I just think there are times when he is 
trying to get Dumbledore to see things from his point of view.
