> I hadn't thought much about the overlap in Snape's school days 
with  MM's being his teacher and perhaps Gryffindor HoH already(?), 
but  what you've said here seems very important--he's bitter about 
the  Marauders, but he exhibits no apparent bitterness towards the 
woman who was likely WMPP's HoH.  Maybe she's just ALWAYS been as 
fair as I see her to be now?  Perhaps Snape recognizes that about 
her?

Potioncat:
It would be interesting to know when she became HoH and when she 
became Deputy.

And it's interesting, Draco dislikes both McGonagall and DD very 
much... I suppose because of the DE influence.  Certainly Snape 
doesn't doesn't dislike either.  But I wonder how he keeps from 
slapping Draco down at some of the comments he makes.  Or how Snape 
deals with the whole Umbridge/ I.S. thing.

Potioncat:
Oh, that would be a riot!  JKR should publish another charity book 
based on the teachers relationships...Minutes from the Teacher's 
Meetings--or something.

As for the staff lounge...I'll bet if they go after eacher other 
with quips, less brave staff members head for the hills.  And Heaven 
help anyone who is on the receiving end if they join forces!
