[Mention of the Carrows sends Severus' anger spiking several degrees higher.]
It seems to have escaped your notice, you insolent little fool, that had I possessed motives of ill intent while assuming post as Headmaster at Hogwarts, I would have allowed the Carrows to do a great deal more.
It seems to have escaped your notice that had I motives of ill intent, I would have been directly involved in the Carrows' agenda. Had I motives of ill intent, I would not have thought twice about pointing my wand at your dimwitted face and torturing you just as your parents were. After all, what would have stopped me from doing such a thing?
And yet, I didn't. Instead, I made certain to assign students to extended and frequent detentions in the Forbidden Forest, as far away from the Carrows as possible.
What might that suggest to you, Longbottom? And please, try not to strain yourself thinking too hard about it.
