I cannot agree more with what you said firebird.  It
can be said that at some point we all have to swallow
some hard truths that come from people we (in general)
don't like or trust. I know Harry does not like Snape
or trust him as far as harry can toss a stone but I'd
like to think Harry will go to realize that not
everyone is as black and white as he use to see them.
