Really? I thought it was much more serious than that...I thought
Moody was threatening to tell Dumbledore that it was Snape who
had put Harry's name in the goblet--just before the snippet you
quoted, Moody justifies his search of Snape's office with "auror's
privilege." I doubt very much if Aurors are called in to deal with
aggressive sarcastic teachers. Death Eaters that walked free,
are another matter...It would be interesting to know if fake!Moody
was aware of Snape's acquittal or not.

LOL! They're both playing to their invisible audience: Harry. I 
suspect that Fake!Moody and Snape tried to use legilimency on 
each other and were foiled, but each realized that they had been 
foiled.
 
Snape is saying something like "On your own head be it, Potter, 
if you get in trouble wandering around the corridors. There *is* 
someone on campus trying to kill you, but if you'd rather trust 
your miserable neck to Moody than to me, when I happen to have 
saved your worthless life at least once, I can't stop you."


vmonte responds:

I agree that Moody is threatening Snape.  I also agree that Moody is 
up to no good. I also understand what you are saying about Snape. 
Unfortunately, I feel (just my opinion) that Snape is also up to no 
good. (I wouldn't mind if I was wrong though.)

vivian :)
