Potioncat:
Oh, I agree! Yes, he is a lot like Snape!  (He was from New England, 
by the way.)  As nasty as Snape is, he strikes me as someone who is 
afaid to let people get too close.  And I still think that 
McGonagall knows something about Snape/Potions/Harry that made her 
smile at the thought of Harry taking Potions for two more years when 
she was doing his Career Advice Session.

Potioncat (who bets Snape's adorable with his twins)  ;-)
