Just to make sure that I understood you correctly. You are not 
joking, you are seriously saying that Snape knows what maturity 
means?
Oh, and I am rather fond of Molly altogether, but her comment about 
Azkaban and Sirius deserved much stronger reaction in my book than 
what Sirius said.

We definitely see two very different Dumbledores. I do not 
understand why Dumbledore would see person ( no matter how many 
flaws he had) who loved Harry as a threat to Harry.

I think  he was glad that there is somebody who can give Harry some 
taste of what parental love means.

IMO,
