> > Here is how I see it. At first Harry sees a teacher punishing a boy who **deserved to be punished** IMO for something wrong that he did. Said teacher used a punishment, which was a bit over the top. He did not use an unforgivable on him, he did not make him bleed, he did not cause him any permanent injury. He caused him a humiliation and probably some pain.<

> Hmmm...well, if Harry does not have any problem with that, then we can understand why he didn't have any lasting  problem with the way Snape treated him once he understood that  Snape believed sincerely that Harry deserved to be punished.

> When a sadistic person punishes, he is going to punish sadistically, because he doesn't know what it's like *not* to be sadistic. He has a choice about whether to punish or not, he doesn't have a choice about liking it.

LOL, so I waited till somebody asks me and what do you think about Snape then, because isn't it the same then, I mean isn't it a double standard when I think that Moody was not a sadist in that scene and that Snape always is?

No, not the same at all to me. Yes, we know that Fake!Moody did not like that DE did not go free, but to me as far as I know he did not have that extensive history that Snape had with James.

Basically in many instances I do not believe that Snape sincerely was convinced that Harry and Harry only and not James' shadow deserved to be punished.

Now before you ask me, yes, if you show me definite evidence that Fake!Moody was punishing Lucius' shadow and now Draco and what he did, yes, I will agree that he was acting sadistically, but still will not agree that there was much for Harry to reevaluate.

JMO,
