Maybe he was protecting
Flitwick (who could no more have been a duelling champion in is youth
than I could given his size)

Sarah:
What.  Seriously, what?  Flitwick is less magically powerful given his
size?  What on earth is your reasoning for that?  It's seriously one
of the weirdest arguments I've seen, ever.  I don't understand it at
all.

I think most of the rest of your post holds, whether it is OFH or DDM.  Except:

Carol, who thinks OFH!Snape, if he exists, is a lame and boring plot
device whereas DDM!Snape is an exciting, dynamic character who will
alter Harry's thinking in some profound and unexpected way in Book 7

I think the reverse.
