Hem hem. First, ain't y'all talkin' about PoA and not Cos (which only 
goes to Chapter 18)? Secondly, I'm guessing Snape figured out that 
the "talking head" Draco saw earlier in PoA *was* Harry, everything 
else covered with the invisibility cloak. There may even be a mention 
in the text of Snape figuring this out but I'm not feeling so 
ambitious as to check that right now. Anybody else?
