I *am* a great fan of Professor Snape; but that aside:

Does anyone else think Snape may be inadvertantly predicting his own 
downfall and/or bloody violent death, when he does his rant in the 
Occlumency chapter of OOP?

"Fools who wear hearts proudly on their sleeves, who cannot control 
their emotions, who wallow in sad memories and allow themselves to 
be so easily provoked - weak people, in other words - they stand no 
chance against his powers!" (p473 in my ed)("Hello, Pot?  This is 
kettle.  You're black!")

Who knows how good Snape is at keeping a lid on all the trauma in 
situations where Harry isn't around, but that Potter boy really 
seems to be his weak spot.  If he can't get a handle on it, I can 
see it leading to a major problem for the Order (perhaps that's part 
of the reason Dumbledore threw him and Harry together, in order to 
make Snape deal and move on). I predict: all of Snape's carrying-on 
is going to result in a major failing of his Occlumency and lead 
right to a scandalous Obit in the Daily Prophet.  

Any thoughts?
