now Tcy:

This thread got me thinking about something I just re-read in PS/SS.  
Dumbledore is continually correcting Harry calling our dear 
Severus "Snape" rather than "Professor Snape."  It caught my 
attention, because Dumbledore never corrects Harry when he refers to 
Quirrel as "Quirrel".  Is it just a slip on Dumbledore's part - or is 
there a reason for it?
