When Snape is shouting at Harry he says (Ch19 uk p265) '...You'd have died like your father, too arrogant *to believe* you might be mistaken in Black -...'   (emphasis mine)

To me it seems that Snape KNEW James had been warned about BLACK.  

What do you think? <<



Hi, this is my first post here, so I don't know when it will register.

I've been thinking something along these lines myself.  I think that Snape really cared about Lily, and that he owed James (the Whomping Willow).  He tried but couldn't save Lily or James and now feels somewhat responsible for Harry, which may be a big part of why Dumbledore trusts Snape to help protect Harry and may also explain some of the loathing that Snape feels toward Harry.
