Alla:
How about because Snape may want to kill him? And what is more
importantly - he may BELIEVE that he knows how to kill him, Dark Art expert he is.
Juli: You're right, if the Prank was in their 6th year, then it was after the OWLS, and at their DADA owl they were asked about how to recognize (and I suppose kill) a werewolf.
Alla:
I disagree. Please help me out, if you think that no ambiguity is
present whatsoever.
1. What IS the reason for animosity between Snape and Marauders?
There is "..." in the text, when Sirius says that he was going
around, trying to get us expelled. I think he stops short of saying
something else for plot related reasons.
Juli: I bet they tried some nasty curses on each other, Snape had his septemsupra (or whatever it's called), I'm sure James and Sirius had some curses on their own. It seems their personalities were completely opposite: James and Sirius were pure blood, and they didnt care about it, Snape was Half-Blood and wanted to be pure blood; J&S were in Gryffindor SS in Slytherine; J&S were handsome and popular, SS was ugly and unpopular; J&S hated the Dark Arts, SS loved them; How could they possibly get along? They are "meant" to be enemies, they are just too different to even try to get along, there's just not a chance.
Alla:
2. WHY Snape stopped and listened to Sirius? Are you seeing them
having many friendly conversations together?
Juli: I agree, if my enemy for 6 years tells me "go and check out the shack", I must know there's something else besides. Snape surely didn't say "OK, I'll go, yeah, I bet it's really cool and we're all going to be friends".
Alla:
3. Why Snape is shown reading werewolf essay AND why exactly he
assigned the same essay to Harry's class?
Juli: Didn't he want the 3rd years to find out that Remus was a werewolf? He couldn't tell them because he had promised Dumbledore, but if they found out on their own, then no problem.
Alla:
4. Who told James about the Prank?
Juli: If you ever find out let me know ;)
Alla:
5. In fact, where were James, Peter and Lily during the Prank?
6. Where was Sirius during the Prank?
Juli: I think Sirius must have been at the Shack, making sure it was safe for Snape. I think Sirius just wanted to give him a scare, he must have been there as Padfoot, keeping Snape safe. I believe that even if they hated each other, Sirius wouldn't try to kill him, to make him piss his pants, yes, but not murder, Sirius had spent his life fighting against his family's love for the DA, he wouldn't do it, he wouldn't fall so low
Christina:
I think it's pretty clear that Snape was a victim at the hands of
the Marauders more often than they were victims to him.
Juli: I think both of them (SS and MWPP) cursed each other every time they could, they weren't bullies (bullies pick on those who were weaker, Snape isn't weak, neither are MWPP).
JMO of course
