Potioncat:
Boy, Snape has a big job, and raising twins too! (:-)

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.  If he spends as 
much time with his Slytherins as McGonagall does with her 
Gryffindors, then I doubt he's made much of an impact. Particularly 
since he behaves (at least around the trio) as if he supports 
pureblood ideology. It would be very hard to guide one group toward 
the DD camp while appearing to another group to support the other 
side. But I wonder what affect his distance from Umbridge had on 
his "bad" Slytherins. I'm not arguing against your post, it's the way 
I'd like to see it turn out too. 

I also liked your description of the Slytherin mind set.  For a 
different view check out this site, I stumbled upon it not too long 
ago.
