Pippin previously:

We all realize it was very hard on Sirius to be back at Grimmauld 
Place where he used to suffer abuse on a daily basis, even 
though the abusers are gone and he is now master of the 
house. We're inclined to make excuses for his sullen mood and 
his unkindness toward Kreacher on that account. What is it like 
for Snape to be at Hogwarts, where he suffered the same sort of 
thing?

Pippin:
Agreed Kreacher is horrible. Let's see, he's little and weird, 
doesn't take care of himself, acts like he's not right in the head, 
turns up where he isn't supposed to be, doesn't do his job 
properly, lies and steals whenever he thinks he can get away 
with it, uses bad language, talks back, gets angry at people who 
try to help him, and clings adoringly to the memory of a person 
who treated Sirius like dirt. Gee,  parallels between Kreacher 
and Harry stack up like cordwood, don't they? And you've got to 
admit, Snape treats Harry a lot better than the Dursleys do (not 
that it's saying much.) This list has burned a lot of bandwidth 
discussing whether Snape would betray Harry. Maybe we should 
be asking whether Harry will betray Snape?
