Alla:

Umm, I thought that Snape was very nasty to Harry during all five 
years, but that is just me.

As to whether he was in full nasty mode here - my answer is YES 
absolutely.

I subscribe to Dan's theory that  Snape did not kill Harry  because 
he knows Prophecy in its entirety and wants Harry to kill Voldie and 
then take Voldie's palce by eliminating  Harry.

So, of course Snape won't let others DE Crucio! Harry, because it 
may lead to significant injuries or maybe even death, no?

BUT that "whie hot whiplike" curse showed to me that Snape has 
absolutely no hesitation  about inflicting pain on Harry, when HE 
feels like it.

Of course Snape knows that this curse would not kill the boy, but 
why not hurt him a bit?

It WAS painful, no? I think you are downplaying it, when you are 
saying it was an equivalent of "bitch slup", but again JMO.

Alla:

Again, I believe that Snape is willing to let Harry live for now 
till he kills Voldie. I think Snape IS thinking that he is much more 
powerful wizard than Harry right now ( and I am sure that in terms 
of wizarding skills he is absolutely correct)

So, Snape may think that he would have no problem taking Harry out 
when the time comes. Here is hoping that he would be in for nasty 
surprise. :-)
oh, and NO, contrary to Eggplant, I don't want Harry to kill Snape 
and I don't believe he will, but I do want Snape dead or at least if 
he lives, I would hope he suffers badly for all he did.


Hmmm, how about Lily's spirit showing up in his dreams and scolding 
him for all he did to her son? Sigh... I doubt it. Lily was probably 
too forgiving.

Maybe Snape would see Dumbledore in his dreams, saying "please 
Severus, please, don't betray me..." 

Hmmm. Of course I would read anything JKR writes, but I do want 
Snape to pay somehow, I really do. :-)


Just me of course,

Alla.
