That is a very good point.  Some of Snape's actions, particularly in PoA is irrational even beyond what you can reasonably expect with somebody holding as much animosity to the opposing characters that Snape does.  HOWEVER, a lot of the readers forget that this IS a story and a lot of this simply makes for a whole lot better story!  I've seen certain actions (such as why Dumbledore cannot find a reliable DADA teacher!) analyized and broken down as it could really handle such analysists.  But not everything in this story can withstand analysis.  You have to simply suspend disbelief and accept it.  The fallacies of some of the characters makes for an interesting and at time highly amusing story!  And the basic story IS logical and consistant enough to allow us to ignore minor absurdities that come alone.  That's why it's going to go down as such a classic in storytelling.  Huggs Becky
