I was so close to being him. I would be, if it weren't for Ron and Harry. I wonder sometimes why they chose to be my friends, when the Marauders saw much the same bookish know-it-all in Snape and declared him a mortal enemy.

If Professor Snape ever needs proof that Harry isn't like James Potter, all he has to do is look at me.
