I actually like Snape in those scenes as well. He's very funny and 
dare I say--almost likeable when he is snarking to his equals or 
superiors. Unfortuanately there is far to little of that and far 
more of him picking on students--people who have no recourse against 
him. its not cool then, its just cowardly.

What do you have against harry? He's a good guy getting jerked 
around by way too many people. I would be pissed all the time too if 
I were him.
