I noticed yet another reference to Snape, Harry, and poison in PoA today.
US Paperback, p244, "... Harry sat finishing a nasty essay on
Undetectable Poisons for Snape." A few things:

1. If someone was poisoned, but you didn't know by what (ie, the poison
was undetectable), what would you use? A cure that's effective against
"most poisons." The, whasimcallit, goat stone.
2. You almost never read of homework being done for a specific professor,
it's always ".... essay for Arithmancy," or Transfiguration, etc. On this
page alone, there's half a dozen references to homework they're doing for
classes, but only one specific mention of a professor. Rowling must have
been specifically linking Snape and poisons again, or else it would have
read, "an essay for Potions."

It's starting to look like we're supposed to be expecting Snape to poison
Harry (or maybe we were supposed to have expected that in OOtP, the
occlumancy red herring, Snape "poisoning" Harry's mind). But I don't
believe in ESE!Snape, so ... we're back to the same question we've been
asking. :-/ Will he rescue Harry? Will Harry rescue someone because of
something Snape taught him?
