Bart:
	And to me, it is rapidly going through a logical path in his mind; this 
is taking place AFTER Dumbledore has recovered the ring, Dumbledore is 
on the magical equivalent of CPR, and Snape is the one who is applying 
it. The twitch, in my mind, is Snape thinking, "You're a little too late 
for that."
