At this point I find it hard to belive that Snape
hates Harry solely because of the James keeping Snape
from Lupin incedent....either that or I'm just
deluding myself that Snape has redemable qualities.  

I think I *want* to like Snape so much I tend to cling
to ideas along the lines of "Well Hagrid said he was
okay" or "Well Dumbledore trusts him...."

Maybe I just need to admit he's a big nelly brat?

Ahhhhh!

My hat is off to you.

It's given me a lot of angst in the past trying ot
figure out WHY the heck Snape is so nice to Malfoy.  I
would think that he wouldn't like him, given who
Draco's father is: High Mucky-Muck in the group that
Snape betrayed... 

Maybe Snape's just trying to cover his ass in case the
Dark Lord makes a comeback?

"Awww - don't sacrifice me Lucius!  See how nice to
your SON I was?!?  C'mon...."

Personally I think Professor Sprout NEEDS a book
called "Fantastic Beets."
