sachmet96:

Arthur owes Harry a life debt.

I don't think Snape owes Harry a life debt, the debt was to his 
father. In fact Snape saved Harry's life so Harry owes a life debt to 
him imo. Even if he owes Harry 2 debts he is more than even, he saved 
him in PS during Quidditch, in book 5 when he informed everyone that 
Harry gone, then when he went looking for him in the Forbidden 
Forest, he also tried to save him in book 3 (he didn't know that 
Remus, Sirius (murderer)) weren't trying to kill Harry, ...

Harry also owes a debt to Dubledore (if he sent Fawkes in CoS), all 
the people who were at the Ministry in book 5 to save him from 
Voldemort and I am sure some others.
I wonder how Harry is going to repay them all. 

Thinking about it the whole concept of life debts is kind of 
impractical. Everytime someone saves your life you owe a debt. What 
about healers then? They constantly save lifes or Aurors?
Or what about Postion Masters (not only Snape) when they create 
healing potions?
