Or sank down into his chair, white-faced."Ohmighod, he's *seen* what 
his dad did to me, he's seen me vulnerable and now the little creep
is 
going to go and have a good laugh about it with all his friends! The 
whole school is going to know!"? Hurt, grief, humiliation? Have you 
noticed that he gives Harry the cold shoulder afterwards, can't even 
come up with a sarcastic comment or two? Don't get me wrong, I 
wouldn't want Snape for a teacher, or for a colleague (I work in the 
school system). He'd be the chemistry teacher who stayed in the 
science staffroom and rarely mixed with anyone, and yelled at the lab 
technician. But my heart went out to him in this scene and in case
you 
hadn't noticed, so did Harry's, for however little time it lasted.
