Potioncat:
I agree, the Lily-Severus connection doesn't quite make it.  And if 
that was the connection, I don't think Snape would dislike Harry so 
much.  But then, I don't think his dilike of Harry has much to do 
with James either.

Kneasy may be on to something Snape may have lost a family and it 
may be the reason for his betrayal of LV and for his dislike of 
Harry.  The Severus-Florence pairing makes a lot of sense...if only 
from the other bits connected with that incident in the pensieve in 
DD's office and with what will happen later in Snape's office.

I think, from a literary point, Bertha following the couple is 
similar to Harry looking into DD's pensieve and into Snape's 
pensieve.

OK, who slipped me a Babbling Potion?
