that Snape causing that bloody gash to appear in James Potter's cheek in the Pensieve scene was a toned-down version of Sectumsempra.
and i definitely saw Snape becoming a father figure to Draco in this book (and i don't really think that Lucius Malfoy was ever a good father to him), but i hadn't really thought of him as being one to Harry at the same time.
i just remembered what he said about keeping your mouth and mind closed, and thought that, even with him running away and Harry trying to curse him the whole way to the gates, he's still trying to be a teacher to him.
