I really like both these thoughts, since I've seen a big comparison 
between Harry and Snape in HBP.

In POA, when HHR are in the Shrieking Shack confronting Remus and 
Sirius, Snape's name comes up in connection with the prank Sirius 
played on him. Sirius says (paraphrasing here since my copy of PoA 
is loaned out) that it served him right, because he (Snape) was 
always sneaking around, trying to find out what the Marauders were 
up to. 

Umm, who do we know in HBP who was continually sneaking around 
spying on someone in HBP and becoming obsessed with what that 
person was up to???????
