SSSusan:
And I want to know just what Snape proposed was a BETTER means of 
taking on Dementors than using a Patronus!  Remember that assignment, 
where we're told Harry disagreed with Snape on that topic?  Well, what 
did Snape tell them, darn it?  Why didn't we get to hear the lecture or 
witness the exchange (if there was one)? 

Seriously, I was sorry the Snape-teaching-DADA scenes were not 
presented, too, and am curious whether anyone here does have a theory 
that there was something JKR didn't want us to see... or whether it's 
just that she didn't wanna go there or didn't feel there was room for 
them.
