 While listening to TOoP for the fifth time, it struck me: Why, when
Harry first came to Hogwarts, did Snape assume that he would be just
like his father, when Harry wasn't even raised in awareness of his
parents or the wizarding world? Why does Snape assume that Harry
would find what his dad did in the memory (TOoP, "Snape's Worst
Memory")funny or amusing, or that Harry purposfully emulates someone
who he doesn't remember and had absolutely no influence over Harry's
upbringing?


Lady Macbeth replies:

He seems to have made the same assumption that most everyone else in the
wizarding world (save perhaps McGonagall and Dumbledore) made - that Harry
was told about his parents, knew what they were like and why he was famous.
Even Hermione, when she first met him, seemed surprised that he didn't know
anything about being in history books and such.
