Potioncat:
You know all those parallel situations that we respond to 
differently depending on who does what?  One just jumped out at me:

James threatens to pull off Severus' pants...we don't know if he did 
or not.  Snape knows, as do Black and Lupin.

Snape threatend to hand Black over to the dementors.  We don't know 
if he really intended to, but we do know he doesn't.

Where did I put that Pensieve?
