Alla:

Good point. Snape could have run it, I guess, but would not have 
Harry felt something if spell was touching him, diagnosing him or 
something?

I snipped the quotes, sorry, it is just my reply would be brief and I 
did not want to leave them all in. No, I don't think Hermione is 
exaggerating and I see nothing strange if Harry cleaned up himself a 
bit and still had a lot of blood left.

Shaun:

Alla:

It IS Harry responsibility to ask for help, but it is NOT IMO 
primarily Harry's failure that he cannot bring himself to ask Snape 
for one. Snape IMO set himself up as Harry's enemy. If it is an act, 
which I really don't buy especially after HBP ( Snape IMO has no 
audience to act for, when he screams "you and your filthy father". 
IMO that reflects his very genuine feelings towards Harry or James or 
both of them), then it is a very convincing one IMO and I certainly 
don't think that Harry can be blamed too much if it turns out that 
Snape is really his friend and ally. :-) 
I think we are in agree to disagree area now. :-)
