The entire scene where Snape lets Harry know he will teach him Occlumency, 
Snape insults Sirius and insinuates that Sirius is a coward.

In the end, when Harry protests that Snape was picking on Sirius, D-Dore 
doesn't deny it, but points out that Sirius wasn't going to fly off the handle 
based on just that.

He was Harry's godfather and therefore the man Lily and James wanted 
taking care of Harry.  Furthermore, it was his house.

Period.

>Snape came on Dumbledore's orders, and anyway, what Sirius expected, 
he'll stab Harry with kitchen knife if  left alone?

What's Snape afraid of, having Sirius in the room, then? Seems like he adapts 
pretty well, diving right into insults and taunts.

-- Wonder who invented the idea that "period" at the end of sentences 
somehow gives the sentences more impact?
