Oh, well spotted! as JKR would say. That's very intriguing, putting
two and two together as Snape himself would do. I wonder if you're
right, and if his treatment of Neville somehow reflects his resentment
of his own mother's condition. I don't dare speculate, but if you're
right, we may have the real reason, or yet another reason, for Snape's
defection from the DEs.

Can you provide a page reference or chapter title, please?

loves his mother
Me:
Chapter 23 page 512, &  Chapter 24 bottom of pages 517 and 519 (both American 
editions)

I was thinking of Neville too.  If they both visit their relatives on 
Christmas, they'd have been bound to run into each other.  I also wonder if Agnes's 
condition came from Polyjuice, which would explain his no tolerance for 
mistakes attitude in Potions, especially towards Neville, and his anger at Harry in 
OOP when he thinks Harry has stolen boomslang skin, a known component of 
Polyjuice.

I've really got to sit down and type this whole theory out.
