   Definite sexual tension between Hermione and Ron, which of course 
embarrasses them both no end. But there are signs of that in the 
books too. It's Ron who's jealous of Hermione and Krum, not Harry.

   I love this as it makes clear in a simple visual way one of the 
most intriguing contradictions of Snape's character; he quite 
genuinely hates Harry's guts, and his little friends' too, yet he is 
unhesitatingly ready to die in their defense. 

   Personally I think this has more to do with him being a teacher 
and them being students than any debt he might owe Harry's father or 
Harry's own importance in the battle against Voldemort. He would 
probably do the same for any Hogwart's student(s).
