Potioncat:
I know this is a wide tangent of your point, but two incidents come 
to my mind about McGonagall and Snape. I think they've seen so much 
juvinile behavior that some of it just doesn't phase them anymore.  
It seems to me that they really enjoy competing with each other for 
both the House Cup and the Quidditch Cup.  And I laugh every time I 
think of this.  I can't tell you even which books these happen in.

McGonagall doesn't give the Gryffindors homework so that they can 
prepare for the upcoming match. I must presume then, that she did 
give homework to the other classes.

Prior to another match, Snape suggests that a Gryffindor player 
botched a spell on herself rather than "believing" the witnesses who 
say a Slytherin performed a hex on her.

But on a serious note,  Did anyone think McGonagall was overboard in 
OoP when the Weasleys and Harry went after Malfoy?  And did anyone 
think maybe she recalled another Gryffindor "attack" on a single 
Slytherin?
