Leah:

But Harry was not minding his own business; he was doing something 
that 
he thought was wrong, and he and his friends looked guilty. That was 
what attracted Snape's attention, and that was why he deducted the 
points.  

Harry has marked Snape's card from the outset, and Snape shows lack 
of 
maturity by responding as he does.  But I don't see Harry as 
helpless 
victim; in the development of the storyline, I think Snape has lost 
more by antagonising Harry than vice versa.  

Leah (who instantly recognised Snape as her old geography teacher, 
though sadly the latter was nothing like as clever, amusing and dare 
I say Sexy! as the Potions Master. Even so, I still kept doing 
geography )
