ARRRRRRGGHHH! I HATE POTIONS!
Why is that, my dear?
The stupid professor.
Slughorn?
Who?
No.
Snape.
Professor Severus Snape.
The biggest bloody wanker in the history of wankers.
No wonder everyone hates him. Other than the slimy Slytherins who can do no wrong in Snape's eyes.
That bad, my dear?
Worse!
He started the class with a pop quiz. The first class! And he only picked on the Gryffindors too. Of course nobody knew the answers. How am I supposed to know where you're supposed to find a bezoar? I'm not. It's my first day of class! Just... Argh!
He sounds terrible. Such unreasonable expectations. Did he try to blame it on you?
Of course he did! He said we should have read the book before class. How are we supposed to know to read the book? None of the other professors expected us to read the book before class. It's so unfair!
You poor, poor dear.
Ron says that he picked on Harry Potter on his first day of class too. It's like he has it out for Gryffindor and Harry and any who likes Harry. He's just a big bully! I wish I could stand up to him but I don't want to lose points or get detention.
Probably for the best, my dear. I've found that standing to people in authority even if they are wrong won't necessarily have the optimum result.
You're right, diary. I just wish I could do something. He's probably going to keep picking on us Gryffindors forever and I don't know what I can do! I'm just eleven. I don't know anything about potions yet.
Why don't I assist you? I am quite skilled at potions, I'm certain you'll be ready next time if I were to tutor you.
I think I'd like that, diary.
Let us begin with bezoars.

AN:
We imagined that Snape probably would hold a pop quiz every year. It gives him a good idea of who is actually doing the reading ahead of time and who has the initiative to be a good student. Considering that most Gryffindors, other than Hermione and Percy, are shown as indifferent students we suspected that the only way he forces the kids to study is through fear.
