Snape is very definitely treated as the other teachers' junior in this scene
I found it interesting that Snape didn't even seem really bothered by this; I mean, he gets upset when Ron and Harry aren't expelled/given a more severe punishment, but before that he's practically dancing around with glee because well...basically, he's tattled on Potter and someone's actually listened. Almost a bit as though he's regressing back to when he himself was a student, and was always trying to get James and company expelled.
I wonder if that's part of the reason why he freaks out so much at the end of PoA; it's almost as if he's having "flashbacks" or something to the other...incident with the Shrieking Shack, and once again, people trust Potter's story over his.
I don't like it when writers complain in public about certain kinds of feedback. Word. I personally like any feedback I can get, even if it's bad, because at least that means I'm getting a reaction, and am not being ignored completely because my work is the blandest McBland that was ever bland.
