LOL! So, would you like to see Snape doing much worse things to Harry 
than he already did or doing nasty things in the past to James and 
Sirius as a Death Eater?

I am sure he considered James and Black guilty just because they 
existed for many years.


I am sorry, Pippin, I am not being sarcastic, but I am not as well-
versed in English yet as you are and with this paragraph you lost me.
Could you please clarify what did you mean? You can do it off - list, 
if this will turn out to be the repetition of your post, but in 
simpler words. :o)

I suspect that you intended it to be sarcastic remark, but I am not 
quite sure.

Well, Snape fits the profile well, right? So, does that justify him 
for what he does to Harry?

See, that is the trouble I have with your line of reasoning (Again, 
you are entitled to it, of course). 

I see your arguments (correct me if I am wrong) as giving Snape "free 
pass" to do whatever he feels like, even if it is a bit sadistic, 
because he was hurt by James and Sirius so badly, BUT Harry is 
supposed to realise that at fifteen (even earlier) and behave as 
mature adult and 
disregard what Snape does to him, because he had seen much worse.

Does Snape have any obligations at all in that scenario or only Harry?
