Thanks, Susan. I thought that if I am going to say that one more time 
in my Snape/Harry discussions that Harry is fifteen and Snape thirty 
six, someone was going to smack me electronically. So, it is really 
nice to see somebody else doing it. :o)

Alla:

Oh, Valky, I like your previous speculation, but I think you REALLY 
maybe on to something with this one. Snape's gang may indeed be 
Slytherin Quidditch team. Remember when Lupin in the Shack having 
obvious difficulties talking to Harry among other things that Snape 
was jealous of James's quidditch talent?

True, his story is full of inconsistencies, but Quidditch is 
mentioned.
