Commenting on the sections about.  Snape is growing fast on me, and I 
really hope your impressions are correct.  But yes, it is interesting that 
he has been tailing Harry since day 1.  However, I think it cannot be 
revealed until after the war, just imagine what Malfory's (spelling) would 
say for one.  But if it is true and revealed, I hope they get to talk face 
to face afterwards, talk I mean, not yell and scream, which Harry would do 
now if he found out.  No doubt Dumbledore would know however.  But for me, 
back to reading the first pensive section, I missed that, blush.

But I have wondered about the rest of his family.  Why there is only the 
Dursleys, and specifically they are on the mothers side, not Potters.  Some 
Potters must of survived, cousins whatever, surely James was not an only 
child.  Still book 5 says James and Lily started going out year 5 from 
memory, so wonder what happened between then and Harry's birth.
