So I am replying to myself and even spending a post on it because I 
just realized that I can make a parallel between what Snape seemed to 
be experiencing while in Hogwarts and Sirius' life. When Sirius was 
stuck in Grimmauld place, depressed, etc, and even lashing out at 
Harry couple times unfairly, sure I can see the parallels between 
Snape and him I suppose. Both of them manipulated somewhat by 
Dumbledore for the **good of the cause** or to be more precise for 
the good of Harry and both technically can leave but will not because 
of Harry. Ugh.

But certainly not when Sirius was in that hellish prison IMO. In my 
opinion there is no worse place to be in the books, period. Of course 
it is just something I feel about very strongly, but still only my 
opinion.

JMO,
