> I haven't got my book with me, but doesn't McGonagall says that she doesn't think she can look Severus Snape in the face if Slytherin wins again? I'd have to imagine her congratulatory expressions looked forced.

Potioncat:
I agree! I went back to re-read this section, because I thought the whole point of the description was supposed to tell us something about Snape. Actually it's what follows--that Snape caught Harry's eyes and his dislike was still evident--that is important. It also closes a circle-- the exchanged look at the Welcoming feast; Snape was talking to Quirrell, and this look at the End of Term Feast as he was talking to McGonagall.
