Wow, thanks for the great review!  Well, see, I began typing last night and kind of got on a role.  lol.  I'm really glad you enjoyed this chapter.  Harry's thoughts are fun to write.  I try not to mess around in Snape's head too much...it frightens me a bit (ha!). 

I also figure that the threat of punishment is enough to keep Harry in line, at least for few days anyway.  I don't think that he deliberatly gets himself into trouble...it's just that he doesn't think before he does things, and that's what will be addressed mostly in the next several chapters.  And as for the "cuteness" factor, I really tried not to make anyone sick up during that scene, but come on, he's only twelve.

Thanks again for reading!  I'll try to have a new chapter up as soon as I can, which more than likely will be by the end of the week :)
