Potioncat:
Snape?  A father figure?  For Harry (his twins, maybe, but Harry?)  
Nope, can't see it either, and I'm a Snape fan.  I'm not sure Sirius 
should have been a father figure either....uncle figure perhaps.  
What did DD call Sirius?  Father/brother...or was it friend/brother 
to Harry?  I don't think anyone has really stepped in to be a father 
figure for him. Although, Lupin came closer I think.  Now, let's not 
get into his faults....
