Alla:

I am just wondering from how many people seeking payback from Snape 
as former member of Voldie gang Dumbledore shielded Snape when he got 
him a safe haven at Hogwarts. 

As I said, I realise that these two have a history, but I wish Snape 
would learn a bit more from Dumbledore about forgiveness and staff. 
Does not seem so to me.

And yes, Sirius can also learn more  about forgiveness and staff.

Alla:

Harry was protecting someone who he considered to be a family member, 
so yes, I think it was his business, whether he knows all the facts 
or not.



JMO,

Alla.
