Nikkalmati:
"Handsome is as handsome does" applies to Snape in all his dealings with
Harry. You can't be deceived by the nasty comments of SS or the POV of Harry;
JKR is pulling the wool over our eyes. If you look at this scene in GOF,
where Harry is desperately trying to get to DD to tell him Crouch is out by the
Forbidden Forest asking for DD, Snape is helping Harry. The purpose of
holding him up is to be sure he sees DD as soon as possible (without actually
seeming to help).:>) Harry can't get into the stairwell because he does not have
the password. He is dashing for the stairs to go down to the Staff Room when
Snape comes out of the stair and calls him back. He knows DD is coming down
right behind him so he hold Harry there (probably on DD's orders), until DD
steps out of the stairs and can go with Harry.
"Perhaps Dumbledore was in the staffroom? He started running as fast as he
could toward the staircase-- "POTTER" Harry skidded to a halt and looked
around. Snape had just emerged from the hidden staircase behind the stone
gargoyle. The wall was sliding shut behind him even as he beckoned Harry back
toward him. "What are you doing here, Potter?" . . . . . The stone wall behind
Snape slid open. Dumbledore was standing there, . . "Is there a problem?"
GOF paperback 557-58.
