SSSusan butts in to say:
Eggplant, perhaps you have reason to believe that Lealess knows 
perfectly well (I don't know), but the truth is that *I* really 
don't know perfectly well what it means.  

I read your previous post, where you talked about Ron getting a free 
pass, and I think I understand what you meant in that situation in 
4th year.  But I'm just not seeing a parallel with Snape re: that 
terminology.

So color me dense if you will, but I sincerely could use a 
definition of 'free pass.'
