Snape and the Nicknames

[sephora063]

No: HPFGUIDX 68001

Quote Rhosyn:
Snape: "This parchment is plainly full of dark magic." (Is this 
thing what it appears to be?)
Lupin: "It looks to me as though it is merely a piece of parchment 
that insults anybody who reads it." (Yes.)
Snape: "You don't think it more likely he got it *directly from the 
manufacturers?*" (If he got it from you or James, fine; but if Black 
had it last...)
Lupin: "It looks like a Zonko product to me..." (Don't worry... 
Black couldn't have possibly.) 


Wow. I had never considered such a reading of that incident, but that 
does make a lot of sense. Using logic we can see that Snape already 
knew the nicknames and such. But Snape was obviously surprised. Or 
was he just plain furious? Or both? Wasn't that hilarious, though? 
It makes me wonder who does that Pensieve belong to-Dumbledore or 
does Snape also have one? Maybe they're like cars and you can rent 
one for the day. Hehe. 'Cause if Snape borrowed it, where did 
Dumbledore leave his memories? In there? This is my mis-directed 
point, if Snape owned one or even had access to one for long 
intervals, he could go back through that memory and find those 
details. Why would he go back through a hated memory? Well, being the 
masochist that I am, I do give myself the guilty pleasure of 
remembering horrid events. It's very awful, but sometimes I can't 
help myself. 
Likewise, the incident could be so awful that Snape would never want 
to remember it and thus, never 'study' it. 
Yeah, I guess I am pretty wishy-washy, but either thing is possible. 
(Sorry, again).
