I agree, and Harry IS like his father in many important ways although
it was bad of Snape to make that assumption (if he did so) because I
suspect that Harry does not have the James traits that Snape hated the
most...namely the arrogance and the need to show off. 



Joe: Am I the only one who thinks that what Snape really disliked about James was how easy it was for James to become popular and well liked? The kind of anger Snape holds on to isn't just dislike, it's jealousy. I mean, i'ts crazy going to end up on Jerry Springer jealousy.
   
I just find it hard to believe that Snape got so mad about a boy showing off when all boys show off. I feel fairly certain Snape did it in Potions classes.
