Potioncat:
The scene with Trevor has always stuck in my mind.  I can't shake the 
idea that Snape had a purpose there that we didn't get to see. Since 
it was never followed up with anything, I just might be wrong.  I do 
believe that he would hae restored Trevor at any rate. 

Come to think of it, he was going to poison Trevor, but didn't.  In 
GoF he was going to poison Harry, but didn't...Will the poor man ever 
get the opportunity to demonstrate putting a stopper in death?

Potioncat who apologizes if mistaken about the first section's author.
