John:
With regard to "control issues" Snape only has one; no, two; no 
wait, THREE, as far as I'm concerned: Sirius Black, James Potter and 
son Harry, and they all of them involve "letting go."

You have to have a fair amount of self-discipline, I figure, to 
master occlu-thingy and to play double-agent with our good friend 
Voldy (add stoppering-of-death to the list if you're one of *those* 
people). If Snape *does* screw up? You can sure as heck bet it will 
involve one of Harry, James and Sirius.
