Alla:

Thanks for clarifying. At least good to know that you don't think 
that people should be forced to deal with Snape on the social level 
(Alla shudders at the thought of ever dealing with somebody like 
Snape on the social level - I me)

But I don't quite agree with you about public level either. Now, of 
course only people who have the authority to fire Snape should do so.

But if the situation like you describe arises, I definitely do not 
expect Harry to subject himself to dealing with Snape on the 
everyday level, duty or not.

He cannot fire Snape without authority, true, but can he quit 
because he cannot stomach working with Snape? IMO, yes and if his 
bosses will decided that they would rather keep him than Snape, I'd 
say that would be rather valid reason to fire Snape and moreover , I 
would think Snape brought it all upon himself by making sure that 
Harry cannot stomach dealing with him on the everyday level.

People do get fired for the reasons that have nothing to do with 
their job performance, as we know.

Let me give you absolutely real example. At my last job they once 
hired a guy, who was a brilliant lawyer ( or so I was told), BUT he 
kept trying to make STRANGE, really strange conversations with 
people in the office, his workplace was an asbolute mess, people 
started to literally trying to escape talking with him, he looked as 
if he was sleeping in his clothes and then coming back to work in 
the same clothes.

As you could imagine, he was fired after a while and he indeed was 
very good because he won a lot of arbitration hearings for the 
company.

So, as far as I am concerned nobody wanted to deal with him - duty 
or not  and I think that was an absolute right of the "minisociety"  
of our office.


Right, back to Snape. I think people have a right to deal with him 
as they wish, but besides that being their right, I think it is 
mainly self protection thing.

Why should Neville subject himself to one DAY more of what he 
endured from Snape? Why should Harry do so?

Why should Lupin be forced to deal with Snape? ( Not evil one, mind 
you :))

Why should new Headmistress of Hogwarts be forced to deal with Snape 
if the only reason she would prefer to not have Snape there is 
because she would look at him and all that she would see is 
Dumbledore's killer.

I think it would be Minerva's absolute right to protect herself and 
never ever take Snape back to Hogwarts, if he survives of course.

JMO,
