Alla: 
LOL! Pippin. Yes, I confess this thought slipped my mind (Not that I 
was deliberately seeking you out or anything :o))

But I think that I earlier confessed with deep sadness in my heart 
that after watching the movie my support of your wonderful theory 
significantly decreased, so can you think of alternate explanation?



I was trying to figure out why Snape followed Marauders int he first 
place? I refuse to think that his initial motivations were to get 
them in trouble.

I want to think he wanted to be liked and accepted by them and was 
not. Maybe Remus knew thatSirius /or James and Snape were somehow 
related (cousins, I don't know)

Alla:

By all means, that is your right to think so. But I can see it quite 
easily, I can also assume that they did many bad things to each 
other, which we don't know yet. So, I can see mitigating 
circumstnaces ( not ACCEPTABLE, but mitigating).

This Night to me is still equation with many unknown factors.


About Sirius' apology - I know asked that question, but I'd like to 
ask again. When, in your opinion Sirius was supposed to apologise? 
The night of the Shrieking Shack, when Snape threatened to send him 
to Dementors? 

We don't know whether he was sorry or not. We just did not hear him 
saying the words.

I wanted to hear apology too. These two together are my favourite 
slash couple and I would love that scene and the implications my 
imagination will drew of it.

Oh, well.
