Actually I thought this was about whether Snape favors Draco or not.

So what I hear you saying is that we are back to justifying Snape's 
behaviour as in he is 
not really a jerk, he is just pretending to be one to train Trio?

Okay then :)

isn't.

Alla:

And those two situations are comparable how? 

Defense of the resistance group and despicable behaviour of the 
teacher 
on the normal school day?

Besides, even if you want to compare those ( which as I said I do not 
see at all), in OOP Voldemort IS back, whether majority of WW 
believes it or not.

Really, when Snape wants to protect Gryffindors from being betrayed 
with the hex that is a little harsher than usual, I will give him 
some slack. Hmmm, I do not think that those times will ever come 
though.


JMO,
Alla, who really thought that **Snape is not really a jerk, but just 
pretending to be one to train trio** defense was gone after OOP as 
meritless. :)
