Jen:  Yeah, I don't think he wanted the post either.  Got outta there 
as fast as he could, didn't he?  Whoa, who knew Snape could *fly* 
either, "Take that James Potter, I don't need a broom!" LOL 

About the word abandonment, wanted to say I took it as an offical term, 
not judgemental term.  None of the terms to explain what happened are 
great, must have been invented by employers: 'Walked out; job 
abandonment; left without notice; absent without leave...'

I'll bet we could think of some better terms to describe what happened; 
Snape would sneer at the official terms.
