So the word I'm hearing is that Stargate SG-1 is cancelled. All I have to say is: GOOD. F*** Stargate. The movie sucked, the TV show sucked, and that spinnoff show sucks so hard, even Stargate fans hate it, and that's saying something. They can toss SG-1 on the pile with Babylon 5, Firefly, Farscape, Lexx, Andromeda, Earth 2, Enterprise, and

I really like your analysis of Snape's teaching style. It makes SENSE, dammit.

(Which means it's probably totally wrong, because this is Rowling's book we're talking about. Oh well.)

The problem with that analysis is that it's parting from the principle that Neville's progress in Potions is Snape's ultimate goal. That Snape wants to teach Neville (and Harry, Hermione, Ron) something.

I would be more conviced by that analysis if Snape's choice of teaching style didn't seem to depend on how he feels about these idiots' fathers.

The Gryffindors have Herbology with the Hufflepuffs and Charms with Ravenclaw. I guess DADA is a class where the group sizes are smaller.

Could have fooled me. I base my opinion on his first potions class. He seems to have something against Harry and his celebrity status long before Harry even has time to annoy him. Snape is also the one who always keeps bringing James up around Harry, when he has plenty of reasons to tell Harry off without bringing up stuff that happened twenty years ago. On the other hand Draco is treated like a delicate flower, though I admit some of it is probably because he's actually decent at potions. Like it or not, neither Harry nor Draco get treated like any other kid in the class and my opinion isn't based on Harry's.

That being said, he's also pretty mean to Hermione and Neville who are practically falling over themselves to please their teacher. Snape is one of my favourite characters (after Hermy1 and Lupin), but there are no excuses for his behaviour in the classroom.
