Julie: 
I also agree that he was being a professor here. What would 
McGonagall do if she came upon Harry attempting to curse Draco? She 
would be stern with him and probably take those same 10 points away. 
The difference is she would afterwards take Harry aside and offer 
some measure of sympathy, while still letting him know his behavior 
was unacceptable. Snape won't. The best he'll do is moderate the 
invective of his response.

Potioncat:
Well, she did take the 10 points, but we never saw her taking Harry 
aside and offering sympathy.


Alla:

She did not, IMO. She only ennforced what Snape already did and I 
think her giving house points, albeit deserved ones were very nice 
way of offering sympathy too.


Potioncat:
I'd like to add that I do not think Snape celebrated Black's death. 
Snape tried to keep Black out of the fray, in my opinion both 
because he was needed and because he was in no condition to go on 
the mission.


Alla:

Allow me to disagree. I can see Snape being incredibly happy because 
of the occasion based on theri fighting in Grimmauld place and even 
though I would love him to forgive Sirius ( I told you that Snape 
and Sirius  is my favourite SHIP ;o)), I cannot blame him much, but 
I can't be very sympathetic either.


Just my opinion,

Alla
