You know, I was wondering why Harry totally seemed to forget that 
Snape was in the OoP....He tried to contact Sirius directly, or go to 
12 Grimmould (sp?) place to talk to someone when he could have spoken 
to Snape.  He only seemed to remember when that Umbrige cow called 
Snape to bring more Vertisirum.....
