|  Mistaken in Black? Underlying meanings?
On Page 361 or POA Snape says, "You'd have died like your father, too arrogant to believe you might be misktaken in Black---now get out of the way, or I will make you. GET OUT OF THE WAY, POTTER!"
Why is "black' capitalized? What did James do for Snape to have said this?

We all know that at that point Snape believes that Sirius sold Lilly and James out to Voldemort. That is why he says that because untill OOTP he is sure that Sirius did that

i agree with you he most likley thinks that sirius is still guilty for harry's parents murder but i don't think that snape is sorry for the potters death he is just trying to shove it in harry's face that his parents are dead and everthing and that he is trying to become friends with siruis after he did that. But i don't think that james did anything for this to happen except save snape when sirius tryed to get him killed because i don't think that sirius is guilty i just think that snape has that crazy idea in his head that sirius is.

Why is "black' capitalized? What did James do for Snape to have said this? I'd say that "black" is capitalized because Snape's talking about Sirius Black. At this point he believes that Sirius betrayed the Potters but James didn't want to blieve that Sirius might be a Death Eater. And he thinks that Harry is just the same.

Why is 'Black' capitalized? 0.0 Because it's a name. Sirius Black. Ring any bells? | |

the only thing i can think of is the only reason black is capitalized is that maybe he is talking on term of sirius.

Yea, he was definitly talking about Sirius, but let me bring up a new question. If Snape knew what he was talking about, and Sirius was untrustworthy (  ). Banish the thought! But then, what was Snape talking about?

Umm, I would have thought this was extremely obvious. "Black" refers to Sirius Black, Harry's godfather and his parents' best friend. Black is the last name of Sirius, not a color in this case.
Snape is referring to the fact that the Wizarding world believes Black to have betrayed Lily and James Potter to Voldemort and to be Voldemort's right hand man. Well, by now, we know that this isn't true. And that Snape and Pettigrew are actually main factors in the reason that the Potters are dead. | |

Snape is still thinking that Sirius killed pettigrew, so that is why he said that.

Black is capitilized because you capitalize names and Black is Sirius' last name.
At this point Snape belives that Sirius ratted out Lily and James and now wants to kill Harry. We all know that Snape hated James and so he hates Harry too he thought James was arrougant and same with Harry and so he said that Becuase he thinks Harry is wrong in Trusting Sirius.

Seems to be fairly simple here. If a word starts with a capital letter, its either starting a sentence, or the word is a name. So for 'Black' to be start with a capital, says to me its a name. So i'm going with Sirius Black being mentioned at that point.

She meant Sirius Black, and Snape at the time was 'playing' his cards and making Harry think that Black turned his parents in when it was really himself (with possible help from Pettigrew).

He si obviosly refering to Sirius. Snape believed Sirius was guilty and he also believed it had been James's arrogance that had killed him beacuse Dumbledore also told the Potter's he would be their secret guardian, but James prefered one of his friends to do it believing eternally on fridnship
