Betsy Hp:
What's your view of Professor McGonagall and Madam Hooch then I 
wonder?  Because they did jack diddly squat.  Hagrid did nothing 
either.  I doubt that they're *all* ESE, but the fact that they took 
no action suggests that Snape was using either special talents or 
was much quicker witted than the rest of the staff.  It also 
suggests that he saved Harry for something more than a job 
requirement.  

Alla:

I am not sure why is it so surprising that former DE can recognise 
Dark curse faster than anybody else in the facility.

Nobody else seemed to understand what happened, especially Hagrid

"dunno what Hary thinks he is doing," Hagrid mumbled. he stared 
through his binoculars. "If I didn't know better, I'd say he'd lost 
control of his broom... but he can't have..." - PS/SS. p.189, 
paperback.

I think McGonagall and Hooch were in the same situation as Hagrid 
was.

So, NO it does not suggest to me that Snape was saving Harry as more 
than job requirement.

Besides, let's not forget another very important party in Harry's 
rescue - Hermione. I think she should at least share credit with 
Snape, won't you agree? 


Alla: 
One more thing, Dumbledore also saved Harry's life in PoA when he 
was falling down from the sky after dementor's attack.
Do you think that this action also needs special acknowledgement?< 
 
Betsy Hp:
Well, yeah. Generally, if someone saves my life, I express some form 
of gratitude.  It's how my mama raised me. :P 


Alla:

Sigh again. More than "Thank you" Betsy, do you think Dumbledore's 
action deserves more than thank you?

What if the only positive action of Dumbledore's towards Harry was 
that rescue and he otherwise would have been a sadistic bastard like 
Snape?

Do you think Harry would still have to respect Dumbledore?


JMO,

Alla.
