With all due respect, mcmaxslb, I might point out that your response is 
similiar to the "Have you beaten your wife recently?"  If I say "no", then the 
response is:  "So you haven't beaten her for a while?"  If I get angry and say:  
"I've never hit her!" then the response would be:  "Why are you so defensive 
about it?  What are you hiding?"

To say it touches a nerve for "allot of people" is false.  I could point out 
that people who make false accusations and try to stir up trouble routinely 
torture small kneazle kittens.  If you deny it, it obviously touched a nerve.  
Totally false reasoning.

I find it telling that you not only do not like Snape, you seem to bear a 
grudge against anyone who does.  Thank you for taking back the "All Snape Lovers 
are bullies" remark...  sort of.  It seems almost a mirror of the prejudices 
in the WW.  The sort of "All Mudbloods should be killed" spiel so favored by 
Death Eaters.  Hope that doesn't touch a nerve.
