Carol responds:
This quotation is the only one that actually relates to Snape's
handedness. While at first glance it seems to support your view that
Snape is left-handed, it actually provides evidence that he isn't.
snape is picking up trevor in his left hand in order to pour drops on
his head with his right, which is what a right-handed person would do,
just as a right-handed person generally holds a phone receiver in his
left hand so that he can dial with his right.

The only other reference to Snape's left hand or arm that I can recall
is when he grasps his left arm, the one we later learn has the Dark
Mark, with his right hand as if it hurts him in GoF.

All other references that I can recall to Snape's hands relate to his
long fingers, a trait that seems to be associated in the HP books with
magical power.

Carol, ignoring references to leaving, etc., as not relevant to the
argument
