Severus Snape vs Harry Potter: Year Three / Sixth Incident: Snitch-Faced
If one is not interested in Chess, then why not a rousing game of Quidditch? Well, that may not be a good idea either. Here's another scene from year three explaining why.
"And Harry Potter scores again!"
The entire school was watching an exciting game of Quidditch match between two of the houses. Harry was making goals like there was no tomorrow. However, no one has yet caught the Golden Snitch in this game and scored.
From the faculty area of the stands, Professor Snape watches on with silence.
Suddenly, he had an idea.
"I know how to make this game interesting…I'll take control of the Golden Snitch, and force it to collide into Mr. Potter, knocking him out of the game. Snape, you're a genius," Professor Snape says to himself with a sly grin.
Professor Snape excuses himself from the stands and sneaks into a small pathway directly underneath. He then takes out his wand and tries to pinpoint the Golden Snitch's location.
"There it is…" Professor Snape says with eagerness. He flicks his wand at just the right time, taking control of the tiny golden ball with wings.
"What's this folks? The Golden Snitch has suddenly stopped!" says the announcer over the speakers. "And now it's moving again, straight at Harry Potter!"
"What?!" Harry says, turning around on his broomstick to see the Golden Snitch about to collide into him. Harry, thinking quickly, flips upside down hanging from his broomstick, narrowly missing getting whacked by the tiny, but deadly-at-high-speeds ball.
"You got lucky, this time, Mr. Potter, but not for long," Professor Snape says as he attempts to control the Golden Snitch once more.
But to Professor Snape's dismay, his wand began to short-circuit on him.
"What is the meaning of this? Why isn't my wand working?" Professor Snape says, shaking it trying to get it work properly.
Unbeknownst to him, Harry had his own wand out, and now he was the one controlling the Golden Snitch now. Harry flicks the wand, causing the tiny gold ball to zoom straight toward the area underneath the stands.
"In a crazy turn of events, the Golden Snitch is now flying straight for the stands folks!" the announcer responds.
"What?" Professor Snape says as he looks up, but it was too late as the Golden Snitch struck the Professor at high speeds…
…directly in the crotch.
