But Snape
 well Hermione would be the one to figure it out. You
might be on to something here. Question 10. We really need to
explore this in more detail. Now to do a little Legilmency into
Snape's mind. There must be something really *big* in that whole
scene that we are all missing. Something under all of the emotion. I
think someone else hear suggested awhile back that the emotional
part of the whole situation with Harry and Snape was meant to throw
us off. Hummmm.. So what else happens in the pensive scene that
might be a big clue to something that Snape doesn't want Harry or LV
to see??? And ideas folks???

vmonte responds:
I think it's more that Snape doesn't want Dumbledore to find out
something. If Snape had known all along what the maraurders were,
then he was never really in trouble during the prank; and his hatred
of James (for saving his life) and protection of Harry is
unjustified. So, what is he really mad at, and why is he supposedly
watching over Harry? Is he watching over something else entirely? Or 
does he owe Lily for something? Or is it Harry?
