Snape and Harry and expulsion LONG

[dumbledore11214]

No: HPFGUIDX 188887

I am not forgetting
that Snape is has taken away 70 House points from
Harry. But if you look at the lines without any
preconception, Snape has not yet begun to torment
Harry--although Harry is interpreting it that way.


Alla:

I reread my post and I saw that I did not address it yesterday, oh well so I will do it in the separate post. I do not know what you see when you look at it without any preconception, but what I see is definitely abuse of authority. Again, what is Snape taking points for here?  I mean, seriously Harry is late and he is taking fifty points for it? I especially loved "twenty points for muggle attire", I think actually this one would be on my top three lists of most ridiculous reasons Snape takes points from Harry.  If he read Harry's mind and knows what occurred on the train and wants to punish Harry for that, then again when it happened term did not started yet. It is abuse through and through as far as I am concerned, although I would say that this one is abuse of authority.


Montavilla47:
Imagine if it had been Hagrid or Dumbledore saying
those exact words. They would be taken quite
differently, don't you think?

Alla:

I have a very strong suspicion that they would have never said those words and took those points from anybody. We have Minerva not taking points from Gryffindor for something Harry did before term started in CoS, just giving him detention. And no, I do not think she would have had a problem taking points from her house if she thought it was fair.

JMO,
