PoA chapter 20 - 22 post DH look

[dumbledore11214]

No: HPFGUIDX 181643

"Personally, I try and treat him like any other student"  - p.387

Alla:

HAHAHAH.


"And any other student would be suspended – at the very least – for 
leading his friends into such danger" – p.387

Alla:

So, I am sure there are people who had this thought, but I honestly 
do not remember if I did.

If Snape is concerned with keeping Harry alive, but only in order to 
preserve the part of Lily, or whatever AND if he can give a flying 
fig about Harry as a person (both of those are facts for me but 
obviously only for me), wouldn't it make sense that his threats to 
expel Harry or send him to people who can expel him are indeed real, 
BUT real in a sense that he wants Harry away from Hogwarts in order 
to keep him alive.
Since IMO he does not care that in Hogwarts Harry found his first 
friends and first real home in many years, he would only care about 
Harry's physical safety, and the further from Hogwarts the better?

And here we have the added bonus of Snape not having to stare in 
Harry's eyes every day. Hmmm, but that means Snape will be defying 
Dumbledore, I am not sure if Snape is ready to do that.

"What amazes me the most is the behavior of the Dementors
 you've 
really no idea what made them retreat, Snape? " – p.387

Alla:
Huh? Patronus is a novel idea for Fudge?


"Sirius Black showed he was capable of murder at the age sixteen," he 
breathed. "You haven't forgotten that, Headmaster? You haven't 
forgotten that he once tried to kill me?" – p.391

Alla:

Yeah, in the retrospect seems so clear that Snape's emphasis on 
the "me" means that he also claims that Sirius murdered someone else 
as well. I wonder though if he truly believes that Sirius tried to 
murder trio, or is it just a hint about Lily.

"But I have no power to make other men see the truth or to overrule 
the Minister of Magic" – p.393

Alla:

Yeah, we can see that Dumbledore has no power to make other people 
see in OOP, but I think he really forgets here ( on purpose?)) that 
he still enough influence to do so IMO.

"You think the dead we loved ever truly leave us? You think we don't 
recall them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble?" – p.427

Alla:

Hint for  DH chapter 34 as well?


That's it for now. See you in GoF :-)
