colebiancardi:  

I also think that Snape had friends at Hogwarts - perhaps not like
James & Sirius were friends, but friends nonetheless.  I also think he
was close to Regulus as well and that Regulus was one(if not THE)
reason why Snape turned.

colebiancardi:  nope, count me in as not wanting Lily to play a part
in this either :)  That is why I hang my hat on Regulus, not Lily. 
Afterall, Draco calls Hermione a mudblood as well, they are in the
same Potions class, yet they aren't Potions partners(and it seems that
Draco holds his own in Potions) and I doubt anyone would think Draco
has a "thing" for Hermione.


how many days until book 7?  LOL.
