Oh, yeah. Very helpful he was indeed. Don't you think that this scene 
was Snape at its worst to Harry in GoF. Who knows, maybe Crouch Sr. 
could have been saved if Harry could have gotten to Dumbledore's few 
moments earlier. But of course, Dear Severus has to be his spiteful 
and bullying self even at the moments like this.

Snape is a wonderful character, but G-d knows how many times I want 
to smack him across the head and tell him to go pick up on somebody, 
who is his own size.
