Yes, what Susan said. In addition, I am having a lot of trouble with 
assumption that any eleven year old needs to be KNOCKED DOWN from 
whatever imaginary place his teacher ASSUMES him to be. Snape should 
have at least found out what Harry's life was before school from 
Dumbledore or leave Harry alone. Why? Again as Susan said because he 
is a special case. All WW depends on him for survival. Yes, I'd say 
this child needs A LOT of special attention and help.

Yep. agreed again. The scene itself was fantastically written and I 
understand the need of it and possible foreshadowing, but boy, oh, 
boy that was one of my "Want to slap Snape many times" moment. :o)
