Siriusly Snapey Susan:
I think if that's true with Quirrell, I wonder if it was after he 
was found out as The Bad Guy?  For Umbridge, I imagine it's because 
NO ONE--staff included--respects her, and they know she's no 
professor.  With Snape, though, I think DD points it out over & over 
because he believes that Snape is the person Harry most needs to 
remember *is* deserving of respect.  Around staff members, have we 
ever heard the trio say just "McGonagall" or "Lupin" or "Flitwick" 
or "Sprout"?  Yet his consistently saying just "Snape" to DD 
probably is something DD can't help noticing & remarking upon.  

As much as I despise Snape's methods with Harry and, esp., Neville, 
I think DD is right to call Harry on this disrespectfulness.  It 
can't do anything to help improve his situation with Snape--er, with 
Professor Snape.
