now me:

It's a small point, but I disagree that Snape doesn't want
some sort of acknowledgement from Harry for saving Harry's
life. My first reason is that in PoA when Snape confronts
Sirius and Lupin in the Shrieking Shack, Harry gets in the
way and Snape said something to the effect of 'you should
be down on bended knee thanking me' (not exact quote, but i
think it's close enough that you all know what I mean). My
second reason for thinking Snape wants some reward is when
Sirius escaped it made him furious, and when he lost his
Order of Merlin (he and Fudge were talking about that in
the corridor), I think it made him even madder..
                      

Small point, but I love this message board and just want to
hear what you guys think...
