huge snip

Oh, and Snape kept his emotions under remarkable control most of the
time, as I've illustrated in previous posts. It's only in the 
Pensieve scene that he lost it--and that, too, is mostly Harry's 
fault, as you have conceded in other posts. 


Alla:

I must have been REALLY unclear in my previous posts if you made 
such conclusion and for that I apologise. I don't remember conceding 
ANYWHERE that the only time Snape lost it was the Pensieve scene.
In fact, I think he kept his emotions under quite poor control 
during Occlumency lessons.


I remember saying that Harry's nose did not belong in the Pensieve, 
that is true, but from that I did not make the conclusion that it 
was mostly Harry's fault that Snape went crazy. I blame that solely 
on Snape's anger management issues.

How about saying " Get out" and be done with it? No, I'd say Snape 
still has plenty of "inner DE" to get under control.


Just my opinion,
