I wish!! I'd have been kicking over cauldrons, setting fire to 
everything in sight, house points be damned! Anything for a detention!
Ok, I'm just picturing Rickman in a Dracula cape and second-hand 
Trent Reznor wig, but hey...who isn't?

Who can blame him for hating Sirius? Small wonder, considering he 
exposed Snape's grubby underpants (and god knows what else) to the 
entire school. 
I am not entirely convinced that he does hate Harry, but even if he 
does, so what? He doesn't have to like him. Maybe Harry just isn't 
Snape's cup of tea. Who knows? He's not (as far as we know) doing 
anything to hurt Harry. On the contrary, Snape has saved his bacon 
more than once, with nary a "thank you" in return. Truth be told, if 
Harry had stopped running around like a headless chicken and just 
gone to Snape about his vision, Sirius would still be alive.
