Snape Quote of the Week #1

Every Thursday, there will be a random quote from any of the books either said by Snape or about Snape.

"Potter attacked me, sir-"
"We attacked each other at the same time!" Harry shouted.
"-and he hit Goyle- look-"
Snape examined Goyle, whose face now resembled something that would have been at home in a book on poisonous fungi.
"Hospital wing, Goyle," Snape said calmly.
"Malfot got Hermione!" Ron said. "Look!"
He forced Hermione to show Snape her teeth- she was doing the best to hide them with her hands, though this was difficult as they had now grown down past her collar. Pansy Parkinson and the other Slytherin girls were doubled up with silent giggles, pointing at Hermione behind Snape's back.
Snape looked coldly at Hermione, then said, "I see no difference."
Hermione let out a wimper; her eyes filled with tears, she turned on her heel and ran, ran all the way up the corridor and out of sight."

Snape is always really sarcastic and mean, especially to Harry, but this was just awesome. You know that rather than getting frustrated with how incompetent students are or being angry with Harry for acting so much like James, this is actually one of those times that Snape is saying something like that just for the sake of being mean. He had no reason for it; there was no educational or Lily-related purpose behind it... it was just mean. Really mean. Mean enough to make Hermione cry, and to have Harry actually want to Crucio him. I honestly wonder why, though... he can't hate Hermione that much. Or maybe he does... she gets pretty annoying. But I also wonder if he was pleased to see her crying and running away, or possibly he liked her(since she's a lot like Lily in some ways), and was saying that to cover it up. Either way, it sucks that this scene wasn't in the movie. It would've been hilarious.
