BTW, there's also a part in CoS that says, without any explanation 
whatsoever, "Harry had been held back in Potions, where Snape had 
made him stay behind to scrape tubeworms off the desks" (9:146).
Doesn't say anything about why Harry had to do it, and it clearly 
says desks, not just Harry's desk because he spilled tubeworms or 
something.  

Susan (who thinks it's obvious that JKR wants her readers to think 
that Snape treats Harry unfairly).
