SSSusan:
What will interest me is what we see in *Advanced* Potions in books 
6 & (assuming he survives) 7.  I see why you have interpreted Snape 
this way, Phoenixgod, but I do wonder whether he might not be a 
little different in Advanced Potions, where the Dunderheads have 
been weeded out.  Seeing him in AP will give us a better sense of 
whether Snape really would rather be anywhere other than teaching 
students... or whether he'd rather be anywhere other than teaching 
dunderheads.

On the other hand, if Harry finagles (sp?) his way into Advanced 
Potions via some other route than earning it, it might skew our 
results a bit, as it were:  we might not see how Snape really is 
with advanced students; we might, rather, just see more of surly 
Snape, bent on humiliating Harry.
