I dont  know whether anyone has mentioned this before but in Philosopher's 
Stone when  
Snape first looks at Harry, Harry's scar starts to hurt.

"It  happened very suddenly. The hook nosed teacher looked past Quirrell's 
turban  straight 
into Harrys eyes - and a sharp, hot pain  shot across the  scar on harry's 
forehead."

What puzzles me is, we know Snape was a DE,  but so was Lucius Malfoy and 
Harry never had 
a pain upon meeting him, or  any other DE, the only other person who makes it 
hurt is  
Voldermont.

Like DD said scars can be very usefull. 

I want  to believe that Snape is a good guy but after re-reading this I don't 
think  that he is.

Please let me know your ideas on this  one....

Sherrie here:
 
JKR has already dealt with this one.  Harry's scar hurt because Snape  was 
talking to Quirrel.  As Snape was facing Harry, Quirrel had his BACK to  Harry - 
i.e., Voldemort was facing Harry from the back of Quirrel's head.   It was 
not Snape who made Harry's scar hurt - it was Voldemort.  A  connection which 
Harry seemingly has not made.

in a parking lot. I'm fighting for that kid." - Brian Pohanka, 1990
