My theory is that James and Snape were friends either in first year
or in pre-Hogwarts days.
I believe the amount of hatred Snape has shown toward Harry COMBINED
with the protective instinct he shows are two conflicting emotions
and they are resolved by James and Snape being friends at one point.
Further, I believe that Snape believes, however grudgingly, that
Harry is the best hope for defeating Voldemort. If there was any
other option, he would take it and try to get Potter expelled, but
there isn't.
I also think this is why Dumbledore keeps Snape in the dark about
some issues -- Sirius and the Time-Turner, to name two. Snape needs
some plausible deniability. If he is a spy in V-Mort's camp, he needs
to be able to say he's doing what he can for Slytherin House. Letting
Hermione misuse a Time Turner isn't that.
Further, I think Lupin is not evil. I base this on two things,
irrational and rational.
Irrational: I like the guy and don't want him to be.
Rational: The evidence against him seems to be lack of judgement.
Forgetting to take his potion is certainly careless, but
intentionally so? I don't buy it.
Is Dumbledore the main man, manipulating all this?
Frankly, I don't think he's THAT good. I think he's the best adapter
on the planet, able to re-think his plans at a moment's notice. But,
I don't think he knew about Sirius' innocence until late in the game.
So, for those that feel roughly the same -- here is the acronym.
JOBS SUCK, BUT HOW ELSE DOES ONE LIVE?
James Once Befriended Snape; Snape's Unfortunate Curiousity Killed
Buddiness Until Tournament because Harry Overcame Wrath. Evil Lupin
Simply Erroneous and Dumbledore's Overarching Eternal Scheme Ought
Not Engineer Losing Innocence to Voldemort's Extinction.
