That is one of the few times in any of the books where Hermione was 
dead wrong; her cat was trying to kill Ron's beloved pet and she 
didn't seem to give a damn.

Good for Harry!  Snape was not  fighting fair. Snape was an adult 
and a skilled professor of magic and yet he took the precaution of 
removing his most embarrassing memories before they started to probe 
each others minds. Snape did not give Harry, who was just a school 
boy, the same opportunity and that seems cowardly to me. It's like 
the heavyweight boxing champion of the world putting on protective 
padding before fighting a little boy while the kid gets nothing. And 
Harry is supposed to apologize after Snape delighted in humiliating 
Harry by bringing up the memory of a dog chasing him up a tree? Not 
a chance.

> and of course Harry trying to cast Crucio 

That may have been the wrong thing to do, I'm not sure, but I am 
sure I'm delighted Harry did it. I don't want Harry to be TOO good, 
it's saccharine, I want him to have an edge.
