LOL! Sorry about being ambiguous, Susan! I am just not sure how much 
of movie references is allowed here. I don't want to speak for 
Potioncat, but maybe she thought about that too.

Have you seen movie yet? If not 
spoiler follows










Yes, that is exactly what I meant. Snape shields the Trio from 
transformed Remus. Since this is not in Canon, I hope that JKR 
approved of that scene being there. 

No, I still don't think that Snape is a good person (loyalty to 
Dumbledore alone does not make him so, IMO. I surely want more), but 
at least now I almost don't have to worry that Snape will turn out to 
be ESE! at the end.
