A most interesting chapter. I will agree with Jearom that you wrote one of the best smack-downs of Snape that I've read recently. This chapter was very interesting, both from the discussions among Harry's friends and for the discussions in Dumbledore's office. Methinks a lot of folk are going to be horribly surprised at just how knowledgeable and adamant this Harry is going to be. 'Twill be very interesting to find out just where Harry was and what he did during those four hours. Somehow I suspect he's been collecting and cleaning a few artifacts. The coming "discussion" in Dumbledore's office promises to be most interesting.
