Would Dumbledore decide to send me to Azkaban after all? is a hypothetical that stays his hand or his sharp tongue with some frequency. In time he'll learn to trust Albus in that way, and thank him for it by abusing the privileges he has. For now, it's still too new and uncertain.
Especially with Lily here. ]
You're right. [ About her observation. Severus has only his world to draw from, but if this place is anything to judge by, people are definitely stupid everywhere. ]
If that's you sorted, I ought to go. I might stay to supervise, but I've got someone I need to meet.
