I don't get why so many of you find it weird that Snape doesn't 
wear trousers under his robes, when nobody in the book seems to find 
it weird. I mean, it's warm outside - the girls are even taking their 
shoes and socks off. I certainly don't wear long underwear under a 
dress in summertime, and I can assure you that I don't go around 
worrying about the possibility of anyone lifting me upside down to 
expose my (not greyening) underwear :-)
