> Carol responds:
Whatever Snape does, I think it's necessary for *Harry* to stop
sweating the small stuff and concentrate on what's important: 
controlling his emotions, learning his subjects, and preparing for 
the upcoming battle with Voldemort.

Alla:

Reluctantly, VERY reluctantly, I would agree that dealing with Snape 
IS small stuff in comparison to what Harry has to do  in the future - 
namely stop Voldemort.

IF there was no Vodemort in the picture (yes, I know then we would 
have no story), I would argue that Harry has to deal with Snape right 
away, because without threat of Dark Lord hanging over Harry's head 
and all WW, Snape IS everyday evil, which Harry faces on the regular 
basis( not that I am saying that Snape is evil, mind you, just some 
of his actions are, IMO)


Carol:

And Harry certainly needs to stop blaming Snape for Sirius's death, 
considering that Snape himself advised Sirius to stay home and wait 
for Dumbledore. 


Alla:

He will stop blaming Snape, in his own time, I am sure. 


Carol:

Yes, he stopped the Occlumency lessons, but they weren't working 
anyway because Harry wanted his dream to continue. 

Alla:

OR, they weren't working because Snape was not a suitable teacher for 
these lessons.;)
