Potioncat:
Well, perhaps we can talk about whether Snape did a good job or not, 
but that is not the same as abandoning his post. He taught 
Occlumency apparantly for twice a week for several months. Perhaps 
DD is upset that teaching Occlumency ended up causing Snape so much 
pain.

Potioncat:
But again we don't know what was said. Perhaps Snape was willing to 
continue but DD called it off.  Perhaps he said, I'll go back to the 
Dark Lord before I teach that brat again.  We just don't know.
