Potioncat:
Interesting, isn't it, that from time to time we see Snape go against 
DD, yet there never seems to be any consequence.  Of course, we don't 
get to sit in at the annual review.

I'd like to know from JKR what was behind Snape's slip of the tongue 
about Lupin and behind the end of occlumency lessons. But I really do 
think he was sincere in his distrust of Lupin and Black, and that it 
wasn't just spite.
