Does someone else find it strange that the same man who read 
Skeeter's article in class to humiliate Harry never said one word 
about what he saw concerning the Dursleys? In Occlumency or in class?

Why there are no "dear, and you're our saviour", "What, the Golden 
Boy couldn't defend himself against some *Muggles*?", "In a 
toilet? What would your fanclub say if they knew that?" It's 
nearly OOC, and it's not in Snape's character to pass on a chance to
ridicule Harry.

I have always thought that the main reason that Snape is the way he is towards both Harry and Neville is because of his position.  It is well know that he was/is a DE (well by the DE's themselves anyways). Draco is in his class and house at the sametime that BOTH Harry and Neville are in his class.  This puts Snape in a very sticky situation.  He does not want to start any suspicous behaviour infront of Malfoy Jr.  If he can keep Malfoy Sr happy that he is still with the DE's he will be more help to DD and the Order.  

LV had know about most of the Prophecy so the DE's probably knew most of the prophecy as well.  This would put both Neville and Harry in bad with the DE's.  Of course Harry is alittle worse off since it was he who vanquished LV the first time.  

Snape seems to always take "appropriate" belittling of Harry and Neville.  He is mean and rude but does not seem to cross the line to outright abuse.  I have always thought that Snape has felt sorry for the lives he helped to create for both Neville and Harry and in his round about way is trying to help them.  By acting the way he does he is keeping the DE's happy and helping to solidify his position to help DD.
