Carol:
Quick question here. What evidence do we have of Snape favoring Crabbe
and Goyle? As far as we know, they could be among the "dunderheads"
who received D's (for "dreadful") on the essays that Snape graded to
OWL standards. I also can't recall him praising them in or out of
class. IIRC, he mostly ignores them.
