ah, don't you have times where you just *hate* your best friend or a 
loved one, because they don't agree with an issue that you feel 
passionate about?  Snape's so-called "resentment" was not towards DD, 
but the fact that Black got off....again...

The revulsion & hatred in Snape's faced are echoed earlier in the same 
chapter with Harry's feelings - he hated himself & was repulsed by 
force feeding DD the green poison liquid.

We cannot *see* Harry's face, just as we cannot *see* our own faces 
(unless we have a mirror in front of faces at all times).  I am sure 
Harry's expressions on his face mirrored his own feelings.

My own personal feeling with Snape is that he(Snape) was hating himself 
for doing what he had to do - just as Harry did.  

I think DD is teasing Snape;  I never stated Snape teased DD - I doubt 
Snape knows how to tease.  

I am a type A personality and my friends tease me quite a bit when I 
get too serious & jump up on my soapbox.  I don't hate them for it - 
quite the opposite.  They know me & accept me & because of that, they 
can get away with the teasing.
