I think Snape was enjoying the idea that Harry was hero-worshiping
the HBP- who is him. He's was finally getting respect form Harry even
though Hary doesn't know it is him. He at the same time is hitting
home the idea that James is a bully.

But I think It's interesting to note the people's whose Names wasn't
on the cards.

Harry never came across Snape's name. Sirius said that Snape was just
as much a bully as James but yet we saw no evidence of it. But Snape
did choose the set of cards for Harry to sort. I must have been cards
that he knew he wasn't in. Wich leads me to think that there was a
point when Snape was not bullying people.

But we'll notice too that Lily never had a detention. All that time
James spent in detention and all that time Lily and Snape didn't
spend in detention...hmm

I think this also plays into his remarks about Harry missing all the
opportunities the the fine weather provided. I guess it was just like
James...
