Alla:

Unsurprisingly, Carol, I disagree with such contention. I will not 
even go into the fact that Snape carelessly put Harry's life in 
danger when he did not resume Occlumency (and yes, yes, yes, harry 
was NOT supposed to look in the Pensieve).

I am talking more about Neri's VERY persuasive argument IMO, that 
Snape behaved very carelessly that night and delayed notifying the 
order that Harry and Co went into MOM.

Yes, I remember the rebuttal arguments on the timeline, but again, I 
remained persuaded by Neri.

Snape, IMO breached his duty of care to his students so badly that 
night, that even if he attempted to rectify the mistake and 
eventually notified the Order (and yes, I believe that he did do 
that - notified the order), he should not be given  much credit, in 
my opinion, of course.


Actually, I will not be giving Dumbledore much credit for that night 
either. Yes, he showed up eventually and were willing to fight a 
good fight and fought a good fight, but since he screwed Harry up so 
badly during the whole year, he does not get  much credit either 
from me.

Harry and other children fought a good fight and first and foremost 
they have to think themselves for geting out alive and of course 
other adults from OOP for eventually occupying DE attention and 
capturing them.


I am especially wondering how Harry owes his life after MoM to 
ANYBODY, after his possession. Sure, Tonk threw a hex at Lucius, 
sure, Dumbledore fought Voldie, but Dumbledore was unable to stop 
Voldemort from possessing Harry(hello, Occlumency failure) and we 
all know how Harry fought it .
