Potioncat:
I know some readers think that DD and Snape are pretty much in 
control of the situation and know all the facts correctly.  I doubt 
it.  We know that Harry misjudged Snape in SS/PS when he thought 
Snape was after the stone.  So it's just as reasonable that Snape 
misjudges Harry. And while Snape may be a Potions Master he's no 
Emotions Master.  (That sounded more clever before I typed it.)

I'm also beginning to think there is such a thing as HPfGU 
contamination.  This happens when a HPfGU members have discussed 
[insert favorite character here] so often and so well, that the 
character no longer resembles the JKR-version. I know it's happened 
with Snape and Black. (The treatment is to read two chapters and 
post in the morning.)

I really really hope JKR will publish the back stories that never 
make it to the books, if only to see how close we've come to 
figuring them out.
