Interesting that you point this out - I haven't really seen it 
mentioned yet, and I could be way off base, but when Cissy and Bella 
visit Snape, does it seem to anyone else like there might be a 
little...ahem..."tension" between Narcissa and Severus?  Or am I 
perhaps reading even more shipping into an already overcrowded book?

If there are no romantic feelings there at all, on either side, it 
is at least obvious that Snape cares for Narcissa and Draco much 
more than Bella or, well, it would seem, any of the DEs.  Have we 
ever seen another DE act as Snape did in Chapter 2 and throughout 
the book, i.e. with compassion and caring?  Certainly not Draco's 
dear daddy.

Ah, dear Severus - what an enigma you prove to be...
