(which in JKR's world is a form of flirting, anyway)
Yes. Schoolyard bullying. The ultimate turn-on. The only thing hotter I can think of is mugging an old lady. *rolls eyes* (at JK, not you :) )
And I agree. The only I way I could reconcile that half-smile of Lily's was to imagine a history of animosity between them. As it stands, my reaction is more along the line of, "Bzuhah?"
I don't think she even came off as very friendly then. She turned her back on him immediately whenever there was a conflict. I understand that she didn't want betray her sister, either, but in a conflict of loyalties between sister and best friend, there's usually a conflict.
Not that Severus is doing a great job, but it's obviously up to him to bend every step of the way
I completely agree. He is always supposed to be sorry, while she can treat him any way she likes. If you ask me, half-smiling and walking away while somebody is threatening to take somebody's underwear off, never mind your supposedly best friend's, is far worse than an insult slung out under great distress.
