There - that's Snape they are talking about. Now he may not be
exactly ready for the cocktail party circuit yet, but that, imho is
a guy who can network and is working with others - well."

Paula now:

OK, point well taken.  But still, Snape is in control, ie everyone's waiting for HIM.  I could never see Snape in the cocktail circuit either, or closed up in a house full of people for that matter.  True, he's been networking and working with others, but on his own terms.   Notice that Mrs Weasley says she has to hurry, speaks in whispers and shuttles Harry off to join Ron and Hermione.  The atmosphere is one of tension--the usual atmosphere when Snape is present.  And don't forget, there was always antipathy between Snape and Sirius.  Snape can network and work with others when the need arises; he's a hard-nosed character, a real work-ethic type.  But seems still basically the loner type who will always insist on his own terms.
