  Siriusly Snapey Susan: I've gone off, on more than one occasion, about how it makes no sense 
  for Snape to treat Harry as he does, at least to the extreme that he 
  does, if he wants Prophecy Boy to trust him and to learn from him.  
  I've argued that a person *truly* committed to bringing down LV would 
  find a way to set aside his petty, and even his deep, hurts and 
  dislikes for the good of the cause: read, to ensure that the brat 
  Potter is learning what he can about potions, occlumency, Voldy and 
  Voldy's tactics.  I realize now [rather a duh] that these arguments 
  (or complaints, if you will) have been based upon the assumption that 
  Snape *knows* part or all of the prophecy.  I'd like to consider the 
  possibilities.


  kitten: I'm sorry for snipping your post Susan... I don't know if Snape knows about the Prophecy or not, you brought up some interesting points that made me want to bring something up that I had notice and hasn't really been discussed on this forum (I think-g-) I always thought that it was interesting that Harry and Neville... the two boys who are associated with the Prophecy... the Heir and the Spare, if you will... are the two kids that Snape is the Hardest on... is there a connection between the two boys and the prophecy and Snape's treatment of them? 

  I'm not a Snape apologist either... but I do think is the most interesting character in the entire series.... 

  kitten... TTFN
