Yeah, but they got their revenge afterwards though, didn't they?  Hee hee! Sometimes it takes a flare-up of tempers to clear the air and start fresh.  Yeah, I thought that that was a typical Snape attitude.

Thanks for reviewing!! :)

Thank you.  Sometimes Dumbledore's meddling does come in handy!  Sev and Harry needed each other, but didn't know it, they just needed a little shove in the right direction.

I really thought that Remus and Neville were a good match, because Neville needs someone who is soft-spoken and patient, and Remus filts the bill, and Ron needed some one-on-one time with his dad.  He's always lost in the crowd; the poor boy.

Yeah, the Malfoy's needed to be put in their place.

It's funny that when push came to shove, Harry actually defended Snape to Malfoy.  Snape really is very talented in many areas, and willl be a great asset to Harry in the fight against Voldie. Unfortunately, Harry doesn't appreciate Severus' harsh methods, but down the road he'll realise that everything Severus did was in Harry's best interest.  It is like tough love.  When you're training, you need a strict instructor, not someone that's going to tell you to go rest when it gets a little hairy. After all, Voldie's not going to give Harry a break when he's casting the killing curse at him.  Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.

Yes, Severus definitely overreacted, and it was very difficult for him to admit that.  He's a very proud man, and it's not in his nature to apologize to ANYONE, let alone a child, and let alone his own son, but he is also an intelligent man, and he realises that  if he is ever going to have a relationship with his son, he needs to meet Harry halfway.

I think that it's been many years that Sev's been on a broom, and perhaps was exaggerating a bit with his skill, but wanted to support Harry and apologise at the same time.  But Harry is definitely a very gifted player and the Malfoys' need to be taken down a peg.
