Valky:
This is true and noted in OOtP "Careers Advice" where in potions 
class after Harry has visited Snapes pensieve, Snape is ignoring 
Harry entirely as though he were invisible.

Harry notes to himself that being left alone he is able to easily 
make what he believes is a potion worth an Exceeds Expectations 
grade. It seems he does learn from Snape.

Someone recently used the term no-nonsense to describe Snapes 
teaching style too and I just wanted to say that I don't agree that  
applies to Snapes teaching approach. I actually think he carries on 
with a *lot* of nonsense. It's semantics really so no need to debate 
it, I just disagree with that.
