 Captain SSSusan strikes a seaworthy pose and finishes  her speech:

> "Hee, I'll look forward to that change, Neri.  In the

bonkers are welcome to hang out on the dinghy."


Potioncat teeters on the brow...(that's a nautical term, but she 
doesn't know if it's the right term) "Are there anymore margaritas?"

SSSusan frowns, this is a side of Potioncat she hadn't expected, "Is 
there anymore can(n)on?"

Potioncat smiles. "Well, assuming that both boys were being 
protected. And assuming that perhaps even after the attack, 
protection was still being given to both boys. And you know I think 
the turban dream is a sort of indication that Harry has a memory of 
Snape from his younger years...." Seeing SSSusan's somewhat impatient 
nod, she went on:

This is a scene that's been discussed in the different Longbottom 
torture theories, wondering if Snape appeared at the Longbottom house 
during the torture and Neville has a memory of it.
PoA chapter 7:  Professor Lupin has just realeased Boggart!Snape

"...Professor Snape stepped out, his eyes flashing at Neville. 
Neville backed away, his wand up, mouthing wordlessly.  Snape was 
bearing down upon him, reaching inside his robes..."

Almost everyone wonders why Snape was reaching for his wand...maybe 
he wasn't reaching for his wand, he was reaching for the Dragon Blood 
potion/ointment. What if, both boys have a memory of Snape from when 
they were very small? A memory of an unpleasnt event, that was for a 
good reason?

I mean, if one of the uses of dragon blood is oven cleaner, can you 
imagine what the ointment would be like?

SSSusan lifts the pitcher and pours, "It's isn't canon, but it's 
something..."

Potioncat smiles and takes a seat.
