Potioncat:
I think Snape's healing ability is a major part of who he is--another 
sort of contrast for our favorite baddie. I wonder if his motivation 
for knowing Dark Arts as a young boy was to learn/invent cures for 
them? It might also explain his joining the DEs. I'm sure LV was more 
accepting of a little Dark Magic experimentation than others might have 
been. To be honest, for the longest time I was sure that Agnes, the dog 
faced witch was his mother.

And back to Ron--Lupin has him limping with a splint, but Snape conjurs 
a stretcher.
