> For one thing, if he broke it, Snape looks silly, not powerful.  If he broke it, it was a "Clumsy me!" sort of approach. If someone else broke it, it's "I don't care." which is more powerful.

> ...while ignoring Harry he drops and breaks a flask of potion?  In front of the class? Saying no more than Whoops?  And doesn't do any other mean things to him?  It just doesn't seem to fit. Once before that I remember Snape magicked away Harry's potion because Snape said it was no good.  But this seems different.  That was public, and with a sneer. Again, powerful.

Just on a side note, potioncat, about Snape looking silly when he says "Whoops!", of course he looks silly...BUT has ANYONE noticed that the only OTHER reference to someone saying that word in the entire series is LOCKHART?! In the Dueling Scene in CoS, *in front of Snape*! Doesn't he say, "Whoops! My wand is a little overexcited!"? Why is it that the ONLY other character we hear say that is Lockhart?! Just wondering...
