Well, we have Tonks. With her clumsiness, she probably caused more 
problem than Neville. If she's Auror, she managed her NEWT, with 
Snape.

In page 210 (ootp), he said:

"I advice all of you to concentrate your efforts upon maintening the 
high pass level I have come to expect from my OWL students" 
(Acceptable at least)  

I'm not english so maybe I didn't understood that well. Is it mean 
that he's used to obtain good result in the past?


Page 323, Umbridge:

"Well, the class seem fairly advanced for their level"

Don't know what we could make of this.


And I think that Snape doesn't like to be nice, in general or toward 
Gryffindor. When he makes something kinda nice, he continues with a 
malicious act or parole.

Like in pOA, when he gave an alibi for the children. After he said 
that the trio is who attacked him, he could let it here, and let them 
have problems. But he immediatly said that he were under a confondus 
charm.

There is this passage in PS too:

"He didn't know whether he was imagining it or not, but he seemed to 
keep running into Snape wherever he went. At times, he even wondered 
whether Snape was following, trying to catch him on his own. Potions 
lessons were turning into a sort of weekly torture, Snape was so 
horrible to Harry."


When we thought that Snape was the bad guy, it seemed normal 
(Following + torture). But now, we know that he followed him to play 
the Guardian Angels, to not let a chance to Quirrel. And now it's 
strange.

More he protected (protect ?) him, more he was (is ?) horrible to him.

One could say it's a proof to his need for a psy presto. I think it's 
a attempt to refuse to like him.


Like a way to say (to himself, to Dumbledore, to the readers ) "look! 
See? I don't like him, see how I mean to him! No I didn't help him, 
it was accidental, I'm horrible to him look! I absolutly don't care 
about him!"

Like a way to put his finger in his ears and chant *Lalalalala, I 
don't hear you! I'm a monster, you can't say that I help him, 
lalalala!"

He never brags about what he did in the first year. Without Quirrel, 
we'll never known it. Since when Snape is *modest* ?
