But there also seems to be a degree of affection between Dumbledore 
and Snape. I'm thinking of the, "You have to try the trifle scene", 
and other times, when Dumbledore speaks affectionally to Snape, and 
we do not get the reaction Snape gave Gilderoy Lockhart or such. We 
also know that Snape goes to Dumbledore when he's worried.....

Making me wonder. What if the Snape/Harry thing is based on "sibling 
rivalry." Harry usurping Snape's relationship to Dumbledore. (At 
least from Snape's perspective.) Or perhaps this is round II, with 
the same thing having happened with James Potter beforehand.

Though I'm still a good L.O.L.L.I.P.O.P.S. crew member.
