Alla:

Yes, I know, I was talking hypothetically and obviously not clearly 
expressing myself.

I was saying that if Snape was only putting kids on stretchers in 
some sort of hypothetical story, then I would believe that it was a 
positive character moment.

Does it make sense?  Right now I do not believe that Snape was 
concerned about kids and think that he put them on the stretchers as 
afterthought of the sort and to show off to Dumbledore - just look 
at me, not only I bring Black to be kissed **on stretchers**, but I 
also bring little brats back **on stretchers**.

JMO,

Alla.
