Snape's Worst Memory

I read some random comment about this somewhere recently, and it made me think about it. It seems like a lot of people were surprised to see the memory Harry sees in OotP in the pensieve described as Snape's worst memory. But surely I'm not the only person who doesn't think it's strange at all. ( I think it says something interesting about character work in fiction in general. )

In other news, have just ordered two more Japanese horror movies. PT has offered to refund my money if I don't love the one he recommended as much as he does. I don't believe he would do this, but it's a hell of a rec.
