Spendid!
Does the old heart of ice good to  realise that the anti-SHIPping patrol is still  keeping 
a vigilant watch and opening fire at the first sign of the Snape!Lily tub.

IMO Snape is too coldly logical to drag Harry into an old lovers tiff, even assuming 
that it was an actual event in the first place.

Snape has a role to play, his demeanour towards Harry is part of the stage dressing. 
Yes, he probably hated James, but that is irrelevent too. Snape is now a busy little 
man, he has more important things to bother him. The fact that he could make a sort 
of peace with the instigator of the 'prank' at the end of GoF should show his emnity is 
unlikely to pass down the generations. 

Again, yes, Harry  is a pain in the  neck, but so what? He is to  just about 
everyone. Snape's been a master for 14 years, this cannot be a surprise. Teenagers 
often are unreasonably  stroppy.

If anyone cares to trawl back through the list, there are plenty of examples of good, 
sound, well reasoned posts that argue against Snape!Lily. Even done a couple of 
modest offerings myself. But still the romantics shuffle about, trying to justify  their 
position that  *it must  be*. No it mustn't. If it existed, where's the canon? None has  
been found, to my knowledge.

Kneasy
anti-romantic and proud of  it
