Me:
I thought this was just part of their love/hate relationship. They
may be in the same house, but they dont travel in the same circles,
and therefor don't really have permission/liberty to use the more
intimate first name. It's a formality and a sign of respect, and like
a title, in the right setting, it can become a form of endearment.

his last name and who is a big fan of 'Professor McGonagall'
and 'Professor Snape.')
