Does it bother no one but me that so much of what we know about young 
Snape comes from Sirius Black, hardly a disinterested witness?

For some reason, from the first moment I met Sirius, he absolutely 
made my skin crawl, especially when Harry proposed moving in with him. 
I'm not sure why, but on mature reflection I have my suspicions. He's 
a Black, after all...
