Remember Dumbledore telling Harry that his father used it mainly 
to 'steal food from the kitchen' - what if he was studying House-
elves instead, seeing if they were happy? (Not that he didn't take 
the food to poor Lupin in Shrieking Shack, but...)

How would Harry know? he'd find a hand-written, unpublished work in a 
Potter Vault at Gringotts... or maybe Sirius' if Sirius was a co-
worker... We'll see how Hermione with her SPEW reacts to that work, 
including interviews of Nitwit, Oddment and Tweak... (Since I found 
about house-elves, I thought those 'few words' were house-elf names, 
house-elves called there because of Harry Potter).

Also - - Lily saying 'you're as bad as he is' - did she perhaps think 
that James was judging Snape etc. based on his family-history? If she 
was, she must have been proven wrong by Sirius (Black-family WAS of 
those pure-bloodists) - the Werewolf (who can't help what he is, 
either) -- so what was Peter? the rare Muggle-born accepted as a 
Death-Eater, because he sold the Potters to Voldemort? The perfect, 
submissive spy - who would EVER think that Muggle-born would be 
working for Voldemort?
