Right. I guess what gets me is when Harry got credit for the HBP's potions, as if Harry had come up with them himself (or inherited his talent from his mother etc).

Yeah, I suppose he was taking too much credit for another person's work. I suppose he could have at least said, "Well, actually, it's this book I've got here." Still, it seemed like a teenaged thing to do. It's probably what I would have done. Let the teacher think what he must, my friends would know I was just copying from instructions.

I also found it rather odd/funny that Snape didn't make more of a fuss when Slughorn told Snape, in front of Harry, that Harry might even be better than eh (Snape) was when he was 16. You'd think Snape's eyebrow would have immediatly shot up at that. I mean, he taught Harry for 5 years. He'd certainly know there was no way Harry was that good. Then again, it was a comment made by the star ****er of Potions Teachers, so Snape probably figured that Slughorn was just sucking up to Harry.

Oh, I just LOVE how much I read into these books. I'm even irritating myself at this point, and yet I cannot stop.
