Alla:

I agree with you. If Neville and Harry did well on their OWLS, it 
will be the best piece of evidence for me that they learned something 
from Snape. On that day I will publicly acknowledge that academically 
Snape is a good teacher :o). On the other hand, I will also think 
that their performance is the best when Snape is not in the 
classroom, so even if he put something in their heads, they cannot do 
well with him being present in the classroom. So, that means for me 
that he should not be in the said classroom (Let me repeat again for 
all Snape apologists ready to jump at me - AT THE END of the series, 
not now. :o).

I will be the first one to acknowledge that without 
Snape, "potterverse" will lose a lot. :o)
