Professor Snape- Master of This School!

When listening to Prisoner of Azkaban, I just picked up how incredibly 
arrogant Snape is in one particular scene. After Harry's head is seen 
by Draco and he gets pulled into Snape's office for questioning, Snape 
finds the Maurader's Map and tries to find out what it is. He 
says, "Professor Severus Snape, master of this school, commands you to 
yield the information you conceal!"

Does this strike anyone else as rather arrogant and perhaps power 
hungry? We see throughout the books his desire to have more power over 
others (especially the Spinner's End chapter for a more recent 
example). Does this have any other implications for the future? Perhaps 
this is evidence for OFH!Snape or even ESE!Snape?

Anyone? Anyone?
