HAHA. I do not know about the implications for the future, although I 
would dearly love it to be true of course :)

But sure I agree that Snape calling himself Potions Master shows his 
arrogance.

I remember the arguments made that Snape as Potion Master shows his 
extra education or something, basically that it is somehow special. 

There is a quote in HBP or OOP, which I cannot check now (posting 
from work), where narrator ( I think) casually says that tiny Charms 
Master comes through or something.

Do we **ever** hear Flitwick calling himself that? I think it was JKR 
poking fun at Snape again.

JMO,
