And from headache came migraine. Gods why was it that his sons made him want to bang his head against the table so much lately? Let Lily never grow up.
"Al- I'm sorry, but I don't think that would be a good idea. Nor do I think that Snape would ever be willing to come to dinner here, with all that it entails."

"I have told you about your namesake, but not about the deep level of animosity that exists between your grandfather and Snape, or between Sirius and Snape, or indeed between your brother and Snape, and that's not even counting that the number of time I've been in the same room with him without there being some kind of insult or danger of hex can be counted on the fingers of one hand."
"Snape is brilliant, but he's not kind, not like you are." He smiled. "And you need more friends your own age than Scorpius. Not that I don't like him, in fact you can invite him over any time you want, but you need more friends all the same." And if he insisted on a friend among the ones who saved his brother couldn't he have gone for Nott? At least the man was friendly.
