Severus Snape and The Incident

[Felicia Rickmann]

No: HPFGUIDX 39857

Firstly, It seems that poor Remus gets picked on periodically. Having
watched various strands intermittently there seem to be two camps for each
major adult character with flights of facny of varying degrees being
inflicted - as patience with the arrival of book 5 grows ever thinner.

I like the theory about jumping houses (like jumping ship - but not to
LOLLIPOPS * g *) and it would give yet another motive to our complicated,
tormented, evil (if you don't like him) attractively dangerous (if you do)
Severus Snape.

Much detailed discussion has taken place about The Prank and if there was
something earlier e.g. The Incident, say, a house move *might* not be out of
the question, given Snape's gift for potions.  There may be no canonical
evidence for house changing but it can't be completely unknown - just out of
Harry's sphere of knowledge.  (I am always puzzled why Neville - a gifted
herbology student - was placed in Gryffindor.  I know his Mum and Dad were
attached but.....)
