child). 

By that same token, "Snivellus" is sure funny and so is him getting 
his drawers exposed.

Hey, Severus, don't take Sirius and James so seriously.

Now that you've set the standard for what is funny. I'll expect the 
same reaction in all future discussions about the Pensieve Scene. :)

>If I were Hermione, I probably would have commented about his nose 
and/or hair then and there on the spot. And that would have made us 
equal.

Really? As a 14-year-old already concerned about this one physical 
characteristic, who has just been humiliated in front of your peers, 
you would have had the wherewithal to make a snappy comeback against 
a teacher, who would have no doubt slapped you with a detention on 
the spot.

Uh-huh. SURE you would have. You were 14 once, right?

AND AGAIN! SNAPE IS A DAMN TEACHER! HE DOESN'T GET TO HAVE THE 
ATTITUDE OF "WELL, IF YOU INSULT ME, WE'LL BE EQUAL!!!!!!!"

Sorry for screaming, but I really get tired of this "equal" business. 
He's NOT equal. He's supposed to be BETTER!
