Is he fair? It's been pointed out here that as far as grades go it 
seems he is--not even Ron has complained about an unfair grade in 
Potions. It's also been pointed out that he doesn't appear to inflate 
Draco's grades. He's not very nice. That's a given. But he's honest 
and up front and that counts big in my book.


Me:  But in one of the books (I think PoA??), wasn't it suggested at the end that perhaps Snape only was forced to pass Harry in potions at the insistance of Dumbledore?  I know Harry hates potions because of Snape and Harry is probably not the best potions student because of it, but I doubt if failing him would have been an "honest" grade at all.  Rather it would have been a vengeful act but not an honest one.   Huggs Becky
