Professor Snape : Potter, what's your hurry? Congratulations. Your performance in the Black Lake was inspiring. Gilllyweed, am I correct?
Harry : Yes sir.
Professor Snape : Ingenious. A rather rare herb, Gillyweed. Not something found in your everyday garden. Nor is this.
[holds up a bottle]
Professor Snape : Know what it is?
Harry : [sarcastically] Bubble juice, sir?
Professor Snape : Veritaserum. Three drops of this and You-Know-Who himself would spill his darkest secrets. The use of it on a student is, regrettably, forbidden. However, should you ever steal from my personal stores again, my hand might just slip over your morning pumpkin juice.
Harry : I haven't stolen anything.
Professor Snape : Don't lie to me! Gillyweed may be innocuous, but Boomslang skin? Lacewing flies? You and your little friends are brewing Polyjuice Potion, and believe me; I'm going to find out why!
[shuts the door in Harry's face]

Minerva McGonagall : This can't go on, Albus. First the Dark Mark, now this?
Albus Dumbledore : What do you suggest, Minerva?
Minerva McGonagall : [scoffs] Put an *end* to it! Don't let Potter compete!
Albus Dumbledore : You heard Barty. The rules are clear.
Minerva McGonagall : Well, the devil with Barty and his rules! And since when did you accommodate the Ministry?
Severus Snape : Headmaster, I too find it difficult to believe this mere coincidence. However, if we are to truly discover the meaning of these events, perhaps we should, for the time being, let them unfold.
Minerva McGonagall : What? Do nothing? Offer him up as *bait*? Potter is a *boy*, not a piece of meat!
Albus Dumbledore : I agree. With Severus.
[McGonagall looks downcast]
Albus Dumbledore : Alastor, keep an eye on Harry, will you?
Alastor "Mad Eye" Moody : I can do that.
Albus Dumbledore : Don't let him know, though. He must be anxious enough as it is...
[brings his wand to his temple and pulls out a glowing white thread of memory]
Albus Dumbledore : ... knowing what lies ahead. Then again, we all are.
[drops the memory in a bowl of water; sees the parchment with Harry's name on it]

[from extended version]
Igor Karkaroff : [a highly agitated Karkaroff is following Snape around outside the Yule Ball as Snape patrols through the carriages parked on the grounds] It's happening again, like before, and soon neither you nor anyone else will be able to deny it.
Professor Snape : I've told you already Igor, I see no reason to discuss it.
[notices one carriage that is definitely occupied and blasts the door open with his wand, shooing out the students]
Professor Snape : Lumos! Ten points from Hufflepuff, Fawcett, and the same from Ravenclaw, Stebbins.
Igor Karkaroff : It's a sign, Severus, you know it is.
Professor Snape : Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about.
Igor Karkaroff : Really? Then perhaps you wouldn't mind rolling up your sleeve them, huh?
[reaches for Snape's left arm, which Snape quickly pulls out of his way]
Igor Karkaroff : You don't fool me, Severus. You are scared. Admit it!
Professor Snape : I have nothing to be scared of, Igor. Can you say the same?

[Harry, Dumbledore, McGonagall and Snape see Moody at the bottom of a deep, dark trunk]
Albus Dumbledore : Are you all right, Alastor?
Alastor "Mad Eye" Moody : I'm sorry, Albus.
Harry Potter : That's Moody, but then, who's--?
Severus Snape : [sniffs Moody's flask; to Dumbledore] Polyjuice Potion.
Albus Dumbledore : Now we know who's been stealing from your stores, Severus.
[to Moody]
Albus Dumbledore : We'll get you up in a minute!
[Moody groans]

[Harry walks past Snape's storeroom]
Igor Karkaroff : It's a sign, Severus! You know what it means as well as I!
[Snape nervously opens the door; Karkaroff is showing Snape the Dark Mark on his arm; he turns to see Harry staring at the mark; Karkaroff covers his arm and leaves; Harry turns to leave]
Severus Snape : [steps out into the corridor] Potter! What's your hurry?
[Harry turns back to face Snape]
Severus Snape : Congratulations. Your performance in the Black Lake was inspiring. Gillyweed, am I correct?
Harry Potter : Yes, sir.
Severus Snape : Ingenious.
[walks back into his storeroom; climbs the ladder and searches through potions]
Severus Snape : A rather rare herb, Gillyweed. Not something found in your everyday garden...
[pulls out a small bottle]
Severus Snape : ... nor is this.
[climbs down and holds the bottle in front of Harry]
Severus Snape : Know what it is?
Harry Potter : Bubble juice, sir?
Severus Snape : Veritaserum. Three drops of this, and You Know Who himself would spill his darkest secrets. The use of it on a student is, regrettably, forbidden. However... should you ever steal from my personal stores again, my hand might just slip over your morning pumpkin juice.
Harry Potter : I haven't stolen anything.
Severus Snape : Don't... lie... to me. Gillyweed may be inoccuous, but boomslang skin? Lacewing flies? You and your little friends are brewing Polyjuice Potion, and, believe me, I'm going to find out why!
[Snape slams the door in Harry's face]
