Rebeka:
But Voldemort is a distant figure in this point of the
story. My father died because his car hit a bus, but I
don't get afraid of a bus ride! Snape's 'mistreats'
towards him are more real to him than some lunatic
wizard who was indirectly responsible for his parents'
status. See Harry, he was more afraid of Dementors
(more real in that time frame) than Voldemort (whose
he never truly feared, because til Book V, Harry never
fully understood the manace the Dark Lord really was).
