Of course it wasn't your doing, boy. The idiots of the Wizarding World might choose to laud you as Saviour, but those with real authority--such as Minerva, Moody and the like--would never be foolish enough to place any such power into your hands.
What, no 'thank you' for informing you of the instance? I could have easily maintained my silence and observed your communiques with impunity. I was being considerate--you might wish to look up the definition of this word, boy. It is something one can display even to one's own worst enemies when one is in command of oneself.
Ah, but I forget to whom I write. Self-command has never been your forte, has it?

Right, Snape, because you were around to know what power was or was not placed into my hands. Keep your doubts, I've got enough of my own I don't believe a bloody word you say anyhow.
Any thank you's you think I owe you will arrive shortly after I hear the same words from you, Snape. And seeing as how I'm not delusional, I'm pretty sure you won't be hearing them, reading them, or otherwise coming across me communicating those particular two words to you in this lifetime. But feel free to hold your breath.
You might wish to be more specific in your missives in the future.

You think, Snape? Talk about an understatement.

You have no idea what my fortes are, Snape.
