> Eddie, great point there, he will not have a chance if he doesn't 
learn them.  Really, the best he was doing with non-verbals, was 
reading the HBP book.  Look at what he was learning, by reading on 
his own, and Snape wrote it all. I think if Snape & he were better 
aquainted (yeah right), it would really benefit him.  Snape seems 
like a decent teacher, and could be a better one if he wasn't an ars, 
and I would like to think that given different ending circumstances, 
he could have helped Harry more.  He is extrememly smart and if there 
wasnt all the hate & tension between the two of them, he could have 
taught Harry so much to help him in the downfall of LV.   But that 
whole paragraph contained all if''s, buts & fairytale  endings that 
don't exist.   

Phoenixgod2000:

I don't think it was a teaching moment at all. At least not a 
concious one on Snape's part.  I think that Snape, the petty sadist 
that he is, was simply toying with him, lording over him with his 
power that he was never able use on him while he was a teacher.  
Maybe Harry will take something away from their encounter and make 
Snape regret playing with him for the very short period of time it 
will takes to make Snape a grease spot on the floor.

One can dream...
