I find the early descriptions of Snape's eyes as "dark tunnels" to be 
more interesting than the idea that certain characters suspect he can 
read minds. I remember wondering about those "dark tunnels" when I 
first read that. An odd description I thought, what's at the end of a 
dark tunnel? In Snape's case now we know. A locked door. 
Just what I suspected.
