Valky again:
Oooops Big Oops really sorry elves, I hit post but I forgot to add
this important distinction to my answer.. I promise I will shut up
after this.

I said.. "This is my opinion too..." when I should have said: All
except this one particular point (see above) is my opinion too. 

Snape does not *know* Harry is *the* "One" full stop. He only knows
"Harry is the one with the power" because he has only heard half the
prophecy. He could still conclude that the power is the answer, and
not the boy. Snape is into "power" like that, being a Slytherin and all.

This is the crux of my theory, Snape is not *hoping* that Harry will
learn these Auror skills and defeat Voldemort. He's resigned fairly
much to that *Harry* can't. However DD's little golden boy *is* going
to go after Voldemort anyway, and Snape thinks its all a bit of a
joke.. since he's going to learn this magic that Potter has and beat
him to the job.

Yeah that's all, sorry for the extra post.
