Alla:

I think that Harry will need more than THREE DAYS to "fully recover" 
from the lost of Sirius.
Harry did not hex Malfoy yet and I think that Snape could have just 
let this one go, but when he ever does?


I believe that Minerva has " no objection", because she never 
badmouths another teacher in front of the students (Trelawney is an 
exception, I think).

Something Snape can hopefully learn from her one day.

Notice, that even though she indeed raises no objection, she 
rectifies what Snape did the very next second.

Alla:

I am not sure whether I was right or not. I have to think about it.
