Amanda (or anyone else who can answer),
I would be very interested in reading this analysis.  I couldn't find it in the 
archives.  

btw, I'm sure it was mentioned, but when Snape's eyes glitter at the end of 
GoF, he also turned very pale.  I think that made a difference in people's 
minds, that this task was somehow scarier, or more threatening than anything 
else.
