sad1199 says: In the world of hair, greasy and oily mean the same 
thing. It kind of depends on where you live. Like, where I live we 
say 'soda' and where my ex lives they say 'pop'. Also, JKR is what is 
called a definitve descriptive writer. Which means that her 
descriptions are very definite and unchanging. 1. Harry's untidy hair 
and glasses. 2. Hermione's bushy hair. 3. Ron's red hair and slightly 
squashed nose. 4. Crookshanks' ginger color. She uses the same words 
to define her characters so that is how you think of them 
immediately. If someone says to you Harry Potter, you think young 
wizard with glasses and black untidy hair. When you think of Snape, 
it's the same thing only dark, greasy hair. This gives Harry young 
hero appeal and Snape not so nice appeal. I don't think that her 
description of Snape's hair has anything other than that to do with 
his character. Like, I have said before, he might resent Harry being 
his father's son but he has held true for him since the story 
started. As for being a spy, he's loyalties obviously lie with 
Dumbledore and Harry as he had has many opportunities to use his 
position and knowledge against them. Such as, he made the werewolf 
potion for Remus because Dumbledore told/asked him to. One more thing 
could someone please tell me where it is written that Snape is 
friends with Lucious Malfoy? I need to read that again.   sad1199
