5. When he asks Harry to tell the difference between an Inferius and a ghost.
6. When he gave the sassiest shrug in the whole wide world.
7. When Snape finds Lupin wandering around and asks "Well, well. Out for a little walk...in the moonlight, are we?"
8. Every single time he would whack Ron or Harry on the head.
