explanation I've seen for why Snape hated James and hates Harry even 
more. If he stuck his neck out to save James that night at GH, gave 
up his cover and risked his own life, and James laughed in his face 
or refused to believe him or even attempted to curse/hex 
him.....whoo, boy, I can't see Snape ever forgetting or forgiving 
that.

Valky:
Ohhh yes Easy Kneasy!, Snape is doing his spy work glued fast to 
Voldys swishy cloak, when he happens upon a crumpled piece of paper 
that fateful night, he craftily sneaks a peek and finds it to be a 
note, written on parchment that bears the very insignia of the 
Potter family itself, on it is written, "The Potters are located at 
number street Godrics Hollow", of course.
And voila Snapes conclusion that the one who betrayed James was 
someone so close to them he could use the Potters own parchment and 
seal to do it. 
Of course this way he doesn't have any idea precisely *who* it is 
that wrote the note, but it does seem more likely to be Sirius.

Hey, then again, maybe the note was written on Parchment bearing the 
seal of the Noble house of Black. Peter did plan to frame Sirius 
from the start, I believe.

oh yeah lol, nigh night ESE Sirius, sorry Kneasy. The canon 
introducing a note as a way to reveal the Fidelius Charms secret 
makes precedent.. :D

Valky, who also wonders if "Jo" is aware that her posts have become 
the talk of HPFGU.
