There don't appear to be too many teachers in Hogwarts, so I suspect that 
they all respect each other as colleagues, and the House Masters tend to make 
each other uncomfortable whenever one House scores some sort of victory over 
the other, all in fun, of course.

Snape refereed one Quidditch match that we know of (Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff 
in PS/SS), so he must be familiar with the rules.  In fact (and this is 
purely speculation), his hatred of James Potter may have stemmed from the 
fact that Potter was Seeker and Captain of the Quidditch team while (as far 
as we know) Snape was never good enough to play on the Slytherin team (and, 
apparently, didn't have parents wealthy enough to buy his way on as Draco 
Malfoy did).

  Wondering what Snape's relationship with Harry would be if the Sorting Hat 
HAD put Harry in Slytherin.
