Oh, wow. Snape's outburst was SO uncomfortable and inappropriate it made me cringe. Behaving that way in front of children and students? *shudders* If he remains a professor, I can only imagine how impossible it would be to look the Trio in the eye. I do love that Harry was so concerned about Snape. And Sirius saying that Harry wasn't a child anymore was perfect. Harry is still a child at thirteen, Sirius just wants him to be older. I wonder what made Sirius look at Severus in a different way? I get the feeling that Sirius is seeing Remus for the man he really is, and maybe feels he could do better by Snape. Why he wants Snape at all, obviously damaged as he is, isn't apparent to me yet. It will be interesting to find out.
