Potioncat:
LOL, the fact that you said, "It was funny" made me think you thought 
it was odd or unimportant. Here you were complimenting Snape! That 
reminds me of "For a first attempt that wasn't as poor as it might 
have been." ;-)

I thought it was very meaningful that Snape didn't use Unforgivables 
as he fled Hogwarts in HBP, and that he prevented Harry from doing 
them. It seemed to me that Snape had a genuine aversion to the 
Unforgivables. Ithink he is also very interested in teaching 'Defense 
of' rather than 'Dark Arts'.
