> AyanEva says now: 
Yes, but I'm only referring to the context of that particular moment,
not cumulative. And that's another reason why I was suprised at 
Harry; he hasn't thrown a tantrum yet despite everything that he's 
been through, but when he does get angry, it's at a very odd moment.
Nothing out of the ordinary was occuring, yet he inwardly flies off
the handle. That and I still can't figure out why he blames Snape for
Sirius' death. I'm of the opinion that it was actually Harry's fault,
in a round about sort of way (forgetting the mirrors, getting 
suckered in by the dream, charging recklessly into the MOM). But as 
one who likes to visit the 'Prince of Lies' wearing my FEATHERBOA, 
while begging for 'Mercy,' I may be biased in favor of Snape. *ducks 
things thrown at her by Sirius fans*

Welcome, Eva!

The thing is  don't see Harry flying off the handle at this 
particular moment at all. The more I think about it , the more I 
tend to agree with Geoff - he answers Snape with sarcasm and cold 
fury and manages to keep himself pretty much "in check" IMO, only.

But of course he is angry and even though you are saying that 
nothing happens at that moment except Harry's encounter with Malfoy, 
I see Harry's anger as very "cumulative", kind of " look what you 
did to me all this year" and of course he blames Snape for Sirius 
death' . My usuall "assigning blame' part goes as follows. Of 
course  Voldemort and Bella go first, but among the "good guys" I 
assign the lion share to Dumbledore then to Snape (since I believe 
his five years emotional abuse of Harry lead to Harry's mistrust of 
him and his hideous teaching of Occlumency lead in a round about way 
to Sirius death)

I also assign some blame to Harry, but significantly lesser one, 
since I believe that adults around him , especially Dumbledore and 
Snape, screw up more than Harry did. But if you think of it 
everybody , including Harry screwed up somehow in OOP. That seemed 
to be the way to act in that book. :o)

Many, many discussions were held about Occlumency and I am sure will 
be held again. :o)

Is Harry right to blame Snape for Sirius' death? If he turns out to 
be truly loyal to  the cause, probably not, although regardless I 
think Harry has many many legitimate complaints  about Snape's 
teaching of the subject.

But Ms.Luna explained perfectly why Harry blames Snape for Sirius' 
death specifically. Teenager's mind indeed works in a strange and 
interesting ways. :o)


I think I am starting to ramble, so to make a long story short, 
Harry' s behaviour in that scene makes perfect sence to me and I am 
pretty sure that he will forgive Snape eventually, even though I 
much prefer Harry giving Snape  the taste of his own medicine, at 
least for a little while, but I am slightly biased in Harry's 
favor. :o)


Again, welcome and if you find this post to be not very organised, 
please blame it on the fact that it is time for me to go get some 
sleep. :o)


Just my opinion,
