Demetra:
I also read Erin's post but didn't respond because I couldn't come up 
with more than "Wow, I never thought of that".  
I agree that it is very interesting that Snape seems to have 
conversations with specific types of characters.  I'm wondering if 
there might be something to be gleaned from looking at what he says 
as well - not at the surface level but looking for an underlying 
meaning.  I was thinking about this the other day when someone 
commented that Snape and Lupin's conversation in PoA about the map 
was sort of in code.  Both Snape and Lupin knew they were talking 
about something else, but Harry had no idea.  Plus Snape comments to 
Harry in OotP that Harry has no subtlety.  Is he trying to hint to 
Harry to look deeper for the subtle rather than the obvious.  
I've been thinking of going back to look for any possible double-
speak in what Snape says, thinking that there may be some clues 
there.  Of course, by the time I actually get around to doing it, 
book 7 will probably be out.
