[HPforGrownups] Correcting Harry was: Re: Quirrel's Name

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?

Taryn:
It's only in that last scene where Harry talks about what happened with DD, right? Because I always noted that, but assumed that Quirrel had lost his chance of being addressed in a respectful manner cause...well, he was a baddie. Snape's a professor and should be addressed as such. Quirrel turned out to be the bad guy, so they don't have to refer to him in such a respectful manner anymore.
