Potioncat:
I don't remember Snape preventing someone from hurting Neville.  Can 
you jolt my memory?

But I think you're right.  I don't think Snape thinks what he does 
is so bad.

Potioncat: 
Yes, I do too.  And along the same line, I think his ignoring Harry 
in Potions (after the Pensieve)  is a similar behavior.

Potioncat:
For Snape I think the speech about "fools who wear their hearts on 
their sleeves" is a prime example.  Was there a reader who didn't 
see Snape in that description?

Also, I think young Severus was like Hermione in many ways and may 
explain why he treats the way the does.  (Then again, it might not)

And I even think the quip Sirius makes about Severus knowing so much 
Dark Arts but James hated Dark Arts may be a similar situation.

Potioncat:
I would not want to be Fred and George if Snape ever found out they 
shoved Montague into the vanishing cabinet...whether he deserved it 
or not.
