He's not in any of the books...but he shows up here, every once in a 
while.  Sometimes connected to theories in which Dumbledore is 
controlling everything that's going on. :)

Okay--now I see your point.  Thanks for the clarification, and I 
would agree with that construction of the statement.  The problem is 
that Snape's perception and the truth are a little...misaligned.

And yes, it is indeed hard for Snape (or Draco) to change their 
opinions.  But there's what's hard and right, and what's easy and 
lax. :)  I think both Harry and Snape will have to abandon the road 
of least resistance and actually bother to think it through.

-Nora notes that she wouldn't be so annoyed by Draco's lack of 
thinking if he hadn't had five years to gradually start to realize 
that his ideology and the world do not confort to each other (and he 
is far more clueless than the other characters under debate)
